| Comments |
The Weltvogelpark Walsrode, founded in 1962 in the Lüneburg Heath, holds the record as the world's largest bird park by species count — a fact that presumably justifies its place in Oberthur's growing catalog of European souvenir zero-euro notes. These pieces carry no monetary value and are issued purely as collector items, a format that Oberthur has industrialized since around 2015 in partnership with tourist attractions, museums, and regional institutions across the continent.
Printed in France under the same security specifications used for genuine euro notes — including the distinctive feel of the cotton-based substrate — the souvenir designation is marked on the note itself to satisfy Eurosystem regulations on euro-denominated objects.
