Enschedé printed this novelty zero-denomination piece for Euroscope, the Dutch company that produces official-style souvenir notes for museums, visitor attractions, and commemorative purposes. The "0 Memo Euro" format is Euroscope's house product — legally a collectible rather than a banknote, which sidesteps EU regulations prohibiting euro-denominated parallel issues.
The Freedom Museum connection places this in Groesbeek, near Nijmegen, which sits on the ground where Operation Market Garden was fought in September 1944. Enschedé's involvement is apt: the Haarlem press has been printing security documents since 1703 and survived the German occupation of the Netherlands, during which its facilities were closely monitored.
