The EuroSouvenir program, launched under license from the European Central Bank, permits officially sanctioned zero-denomination notes as collector items — they carry the visual grammar of legal tender but none of the monetary obligation. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of Europe's major security printers, produces the series with the same anti-counterfeiting substrates used on circulating issues, which makes the zero-denomination status genuinely strange: full security production for a note worth nothing by design.
"Údolie Smrti" — the Valley of Death — refers to a site in Slovakia, likely tied to wartime or partisan history, though the souvenir note format gives no accompanying text to anchor the reference precisely.
