The Sivas Congress of September 1919 was the second and more consequential of the two nationalist congresses that shaped the resistance movement against Allied partition plans following the Armistice. Held under Mustafa Kemal's leadership, it produced a unified national pact — the Misak-ı Millî framework would follow at Ankara months later. This souvenir zero-euro note commemorates the congress centenary, issued under the pan-European collector series model that Oberthur Fiduciaire has produced for cultural and historical sites across dozens of countries since the format's launch.
The security thread is genuine, pressed by the same French security printer that handles live currency contracts — an odd but intentional detail that gives these souvenirs a tactile credibility collectors appreciate.
