Oberthur Fiduciaire has produced the vast majority of French souvenir zero-euro notes since the format was commercialized around 2015, and this Arromanches piece follows that production line. These notes carry no legal tender status anywhere — they are sold as collectibles, typically at the issuing museum, and the "issuer" designation is purely nominal. The Musée d'Arromanches, opened in 1954 just ten years after the Normandy landings, sits directly above what remains of the British Mulberry harbour sunk offshore in June 1944.
