The zero euro souvenir note program launched in France in 2016, with Oberthur Fiduciaire handling production at Rennes using security paper and print specifications matching genuine euro currency — an intentional design decision that made the series legally unambiguous as non-monetary while still satisfying collector appetite for "real" banknote feel. The Palais des Rois de Majorque in Perpignan was among the inaugural batch of sites licensed through the UEEL framework.
The palace itself was begun under James II of Majorca in the late thirteenth century, built to anchor Aragonese claims to a Mediterranean kingdom that survived barely a century before absorption into the Crown of Aragon in 1344.
