EuroSouvenir notes are issued under a licensing arrangement with the European Central Bank that permits the production of legal-tender-format collector pieces denominated at zero euros — no spending power, but genuine Oberthur Fiduciaire paper and security printing throughout. The program launched in France around 2015 and has since expanded across European tourism sites and cultural institutions.
The Maltese Falcon here refers to the 1941 John Huston film, or more precisely to Dashiell Hammett's 1930 source novel — though which aspect of the property is being licensed and by whom is worth verifying before making attribution claims. These notes are produced in limited, numbered runs, and secondary market premiums depend almost entirely on print quantity.
