Eurocollection's souvenir zero-euro series is printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire under a licensing arrangement with the European Central Bank, which permits the format provided the notes carry no monetary value — a necessary legal distinction that keeps them outside currency regulations entirely. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild entry joins several hundred other tourist-site issues in the program, each produced to the same security-paper specification as genuine euro banknotes, including embedded thread and UV-reactive ink.
The villa itself was completed in 1912 for Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild on land she reportedly had to negotiate for years before acquiring the narrow Cap Ferrat peninsula plot.
