OZZG — the Slovak collectors' association built around the personal-issue fantasy notes of Matej Gabrís — produced this piece to mark its fifth anniversary. Gabrís designs and issues his own denominated "Gábrišovky" as a private collecting hobby turned organized phenomenon, unusual enough that it spawned a formal membership society. The anniversary note is less a banknote than a commemorative artifact for that community.
The watermark is a notable touch for a privately produced paper piece — most comparable collector fantasy issues skip security features entirely.
