The 0 Euro souvenir series, administered by the Union Européenne des Métiers de l'Argent (UEMA), launched in 2015 as a collectible-only instrument with no legal tender status anywhere — the zero denomination ensures there is no ambiguity on that point. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification, including security paper and intaglio elements, which is precisely what makes them attractive to collectors accustomed to handling real currency.
Grace Kelly's connection to Europe runs through Monaco, where she became Princess consort in 1956 after marrying Rainier III — making her a logical subject for a Franco-centric collectible series. She died in September 1982 following a car accident on the Corniche near Monaco.
