0 Euro - Victor Hugo

The 0 euro souvenir note program was launched in 2015 by Richard Faille and the UEHJ as a legal, collectible format — technically valid tender but issued at face value zero, meaning their retail price is entirely a collector premium. Victor Hugo is among the most frequently chosen subjects in the French series, which has created some market saturation; earlier 2015–2016 printings from the inaugural wave command noticeably stronger demand than later reissues like this one.

Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these on genuine banknote paper with real security features, which is the point — the physicality of the thing is the product.
