The EuroSouvenir program, launched in 2015 as a licensed collector item endorsed by the European Central Bank, issued this note to mark the 150th anniversary of Piet Mondriaan's birth in 1872. Oberthur Fiduciaire produced the run in France with the same security substrates used for circulating currency — watermark, security thread, the works — giving the zero-denomination format a physical credibility that most souvenir notes lack entirely.
Mondriaan was Dutch, not French, which makes the Oberthur connection incidental rather than symbolic.
