The large numeral '5' appears at lower left and again in bold at upper right alongside the Euro symbol, with the multilingually inscribed legends rendered in gold tones against the contrasting metallic ground. |

Not a banknote. This is a gold-plated polymer foil novelty item — a private fantasy piece produced for the gift and souvenir trade, with no connection to the European Central Bank beyond the copied design. The ECB has never issued gold-plated currency of any kind, and the institution is not the source of these objects regardless of what text they carry. They circulate freely on secondary markets, often described ambiguously, and have no numismatic standing.
