The Eurosouvenirs zero-euro program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, has produced hundreds of these collector pieces since 2015 — all printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire on genuine banknote paper with the same security features used in circulating euro notes, including the EURion constellation and a holographic stripe. The Trans-Siberian Express issue commemorates the longest railway line in the world, stretching roughly 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok, with Irkutsk sitting at approximately the midpoint as the traditional gateway to Lake Baikal.
No face value means no legal tender status anywhere, which sidesteps ECB restrictions on private note issuance entirely.
