Sauli Niinistö, Finland's twelfth president, was the first head of state to win a first-round majority in Finnish presidential elections when he secured 62.6% in 2018 — a striking result in a political culture accustomed to runoffs. This souvenir zero-euro note was produced by Oberthur Fiduciaire under the EuroSouvenir program, which licenses genuine euro security printing specifications for commemorative issues bearing no legal tender status. The format is deliberately identical to circulating euro notes in substrate and print quality, which is both the commercial appeal and the recurring frustration of customs officials across the eurozone.
