| Obverse description | A large ship's propeller occupies the foreground, with the Type VIIC/41 submarine U 995, preserved ashore at Laboe, rendered behind it alongside the cylindrical Naval Memorial tower. Technical cross-section drawings of the submarine's hull are interspersed throughout the vignette, and the circular seal of the Deutscher Marinebund e.V. von 1891 appears as an underprint element. The overall design is printed in a blue-grey colour scheme on a guilloche-patterned ground. |

| Comments |
The 0 Euro souvenir note program, administered through various European issuers and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, has no legal tender status but is produced to full ECB-specification security standards — including embedded security thread — which is precisely why customs authorities occasionally flag them. This example was commissioned by the Deutscher Marinebund e.V., the German Naval Association founded in 1891, tied to the Laboe Naval Memorial and the U 995, a Type VIIC/41 submarine beached at Laboe since 1965 and one of only a handful of surviving World War II U-boats anywhere in the world.
