| Reverse description | The reverse presents six vignettes of iconic European landmarks arranged across the note — the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin), Big Ben (London), the Eiffel Tower (Paris), the Colosseum (Rome), the Sagrada Família (Barcelona), and the Manneken Pis (Brussels) — rendered in a fine-line multicolour underprint. A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa appears at the right side. The denomination '0€' is printed at upper left, with the printer's imprint 'IMPRIME PAR OBERTHUR FIDUCIAIRE' along the lower margin and the 'EURO SOUVENIR' logo at lower right. |

| Comments |
The Euro Souvenir program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, permits non-legal-tender "0 euro" notes to be sold as collectibles — the ECB authorization is real, the spending power is not. Oberthur Fiduciaire in Rennes produces the entire series to full De La Rue-grade security specifications, including genuine intaglio printing and embedded security threads, which is precisely what justifies the retail price well above face value.
A Japanese landmark printed on euro-format paper in a French security facility for a purely commemorative market is a peculiar commercial arrangement, but the program has issued hundreds of such themed notes since launching around 2015.
