0 Euro Abbaye de Jumièges

Jumièges Abbey was gutted during the Revolution — sold as national property in 1793, its nave roof stripped for lead, and the towers partially demolished with gunpowder by a timber merchant who bought the site to use as a stone quarry. What survived did so by accident rather than preservation effort. The abbey wasn't formally protected until 1852, and the ruins you see today are genuinely ruinous, not picturesque.

Oberthur Fiduciaire printed this souvenir zero on security-grade cotton, which gives it the tactile credibility of a real denomination despite having none. Faille's signature here is a house authorization, not a central bank governor's.
