Souvenir zero-euro notes exist in the hundreds by now, but this one targets a specific Polish football club fanbase — Zagłębie Sosnowiec, a club whose history in the Silesian coal basin stretches back to 1906. Euroscope has produced the bulk of these collector pieces for European tourism and cultural organizations; they carry no legal tender status and are issued purely as merchandise under a licensing arrangement that allows use of the euro format.
Sosnowiec sits in Upper Silesia, a region that changed hands between Germany and Poland in the twentieth century more than once. The club's name references the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie coal district directly.
