| Obverse description | Four celebrated Berlin landmarks — the Reichstag, the Victory Column (Siegessäule), the TV Tower (Fernsehturm), and the Brandenburg Gate — are arranged as vignettes across a warm ochre and beige underprint, framed by a guilloche border with a vertical security thread at centre. The denomination zero appears at left, while the inscription BERLIN - CAPITAL OF GERMANY runs across the upper field. The overall layout conforms to the standard Souvenir Banknote Europe format. |

The zero-euro souvenir note was introduced by the French company Oberthur Fiduciaire in 2015, officially licensed by the European Central Bank to use euro-style security features — including genuine watermarks and embedded security threads — on a denomination that carries no legal tender value anywhere. The program was designed as a collectible from the start, sold directly to tourists at museums, landmarks, and official visitor sites across Europe.
The Berlin issue is one of dozens produced for German cities and attractions, printed to full banknote specification despite having no monetary function. Oberthur produces the blanks; the design changes, the substrate doesn't.
