| Reverse description | The reverse is laid out with six vignettes of iconic European monuments — the Brandenburg Gate, the Torre de Belém, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Sagrada Família, and the Manneken-Pis — arranged across a multicolour guilloche underprint. A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is placed to the right as a decorative centrepiece. Printer and country-of-manufacture inscriptions appear at lower centre alongside the repeated '0 EURO SOUVENIR' denomination legend. |

| Comments |
The zero euro souvenir note program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, began in 2015 and has since produced several thousand regional variants across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the series to the same security specification as circulating euro banknotes — including intaglio printing and a security thread — which is precisely the point: collectors are buying a genuine security printing artifact, not a novelty item.
The Fourvière basilica variant joins a long Lyon-themed run in the program. No monetary function, no legal tender status anywhere, but the paper and print quality are indistinguishable from current ECB-issued notes.
