| Reverse description | The reverse carries vignettes of six iconic European landmarks arranged across the note: the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin), the Tower of Belém (Lisbon), the Eiffel Tower (Paris), the Colosseum (Rome), the Sagrada Família (Barcelona), and the Manneken-Pis (Brussels). A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa occupies the right portion of the design, consistent with the standard Euro souvenir note reverse layout issued under the EuroBanknote Memory programme. |

The zero-euro souvenir note genre has been running since 2015, when the European Banknote Memory Organisation introduced it as a collectible-only format with no monetary value and no legal tender status. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these to genuine banknote specification — same paper, same security features — which is precisely the point. The Overlord Museum at Colleville-sur-Mer, sited within walking distance of the American cemetery above Omaha Beach, commissioned this issue to mark the eightieth anniversary of the June 1944 landings.
