EuroSouvenir notes are legal tender in no jurisdiction — they are collector items sold at tourist sites, produced under license by Oberthur Fiduciaire using genuine security printing techniques, including the same intaglio and holographic elements found on circulating euro banknotes. The program launched in 2014 and has since issued hundreds of regional and monument-themed variants across Europe.
Tournai holds the distinction of being the oldest city in Belgium, and its cathedral — a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside the belfry — is one of the few Romanesque-Gothic transitional structures still intact in the Low Countries.
