| Obverse description | Lavender and yellow guilloche underprint covers the field, with a large intaglio-style zero denomination numeral at left-centre and an oversized gold '5' at right, celebrating the park's 50th anniversary. The Europa-Park mascot characters — a boy and girl mouse in formal attire — are rendered in greyscale vignette at centre-right, posed in a celebratory dance. The Europa-Park Erlebnis-Resort logo with the '50' anniversary mark appears at upper left alongside a miniature European Union flag, with the date code '2025-10' below it; the EURO SOUVENIR logotype and facsimile signature of R. Faille (C.E.O.) are positioned at lower centre and lower right respectively. |

Europa-Park, the German theme park near Rust in Baden-Württemberg, opened in 1975, making this 2025 issue a commemorative marking its half-century anniversary. The 0 Euro souvenir format was introduced around 2015 and has been dominated by Oberthur Fiduciaire ever since — the same French security printer behind significant portions of genuine euro banknote production, which lends these souvenirs a technical authenticity that casual observers often find disorienting. They are legal in the sense that no jurisdiction prohibits their issue; they simply carry no redemption value.
The R. Faille signature refers to the CEO of EuroSouvenir, the Paris-based commercial operation that coordinates the program across European tourist sites. Oberthur's involvement means the substrate and security features are closer to real currency than most collectors expect.
