The Type 206A was a Cold War-era coastal submarine operated by the Bundesmarine, designed specifically for the shallow, mine-laden waters of the Baltic. Thirty-three were built between 1971 and 1975 at Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft in Kiel, with the class later upgraded under the 206A program to extend service life into the 1990s. Their non-magnetic steel hulls were a genuine engineering priority, reducing vulnerability to influence mines.
Oberthur Fiduciaire has printed the bulk of the Euro Souvenir series under EAS licensing, applying genuine security features — watermark and hologram strip — that mirror circulating euro production standards, though the notes carry no monetary value and are not legal tender in any jurisdiction.
