The souvenir euro series has proliferated across Europe since the European Central Bank formally permitted zero-denomination collector notes in 2015, and Oberthur Fiduciaire — one of the continent's major security printers — has handled the bulk of that production. This piece was commissioned by Warsaw's sports museum to mark the career of Grzegorz Lato, the Polish forward who finished as top scorer at the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany with seven goals, leading Poland to a third-place finish that remains the national team's best result.
Lato later served as president of the Polish Football Association from 2008 to 2012 — a tenure considerably more contentious than his playing career.
