The 0 Euro souvenir note program launched formally around 2015 as a joint venture between various European tourist operators and licensed security printers — Oberthur among them — producing legal-format notes with genuine euro-series microprinting and security features but zero face value and no legal tender status anywhere. They exist purely as collectibles sold at tourist sites, museums, and heritage attractions across Europe, including locations well outside the eurozone, which is precisely what makes a Praha issue curious: the Czech Republic uses the koruna, not the euro, and has no scheduled adoption date.
The security printing is genuine, however. Oberthur produced these on the same specification paper used for currency work.
