Not a banknote. This is a novelty or souvenir item — gold-plated foil printed to resemble the inaugural 2002 euro series — and has no legal tender status in any jurisdiction. These were produced in large quantities by various private manufacturers across Europe and Asia in the early 2000s, capitalizing on euro-launch enthusiasm. Cataloging it as a collectible rather than a monetary instrument is the correct approach.
No central bank involvement. No collector premium beyond the object itself.
