A full-figure intaglio-style illustration of the musketeer d'Artagnan in period costume occupies the central field, set against a vignette of the Sint Servaasbridge and the Romanesque towers of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasiliek in Maastricht, rendered throughout in a purple-violet colour scheme over a fine guilloche underprint. To the left, a large zero numeral in dark guilloche work is surmounted by the blue EU flag logo and the series identifier '2018-1', with a rectangular MIF commemorative overprint reading 'MONEY FAIR - MECC MAASTRICHT / 9 & 10 NOVEMBER 2018' placed beneath. The title inscription 'MAASTRICHT - MIF 2018' appears at the top in bold purple letterpress, with the split legend 'EURO SOUVENIR' at lower centre and the facsimile signature of R. Faille, C.E.O. PEAB, at lower right. |

The reverse follows the standard EuroSouvenir format, with six intaglio vignettes of iconic European landmarks arranged across the note field — the Brandenburg Gate, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Sagrada Familia, and the Manneken Pis — each identified by name in adjacent lettering, all set over a multicolour fine-line guilloche underprint. A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa appears as a vignette to the right of centre. The printer's imprint 'IMPRIME PAR OBERTHUR FIDUCIAIRE' is present in the lower field. |

The zero-euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2015 by Richard Faille, initially targeting tourist sites and museums. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to the same security specification as circulating euro banknotes — genuine security thread, microprinting, UV-reactive inks — which is precisely the point. They are legal to produce because they carry no face value, sidestepping the counterfeiting statutes that govern all positive denominations.
This example was issued for the MIF Money Fair held in Maastricht in 2018 — the city where the 1992 treaty establishing the euro was signed, which gives the location at least some thematic coherence for a numismatic event souvenir.
