Produced at the Chamalières facility in 1998, a full year before the euro entered circulation as a book-money currency, this specimen was part of the Banque de France's internal and public-facing campaign to familiarize both bank staff and the general population with the incoming denominations. The 500 euro note was always the highest denomination in the inaugural series and generated early controversy — Germany's Bundesbank had pushed for it, while several other member states worried it would facilitate tax evasion and cash hoarding.
Specimens of this type were never legal tender and carry no serial numbers. Chamalières had been printing French banknotes since 1923.
