| Obverse description | Central vignette comprises two tigers — one full-bodied in profile and one facing the viewer at right — alongside two primates, a large mandrill at centre-left and a smaller monkey below it, all rendered in a warm polychrome print against a violet guilloche underprint. The large numeral '0' in dark purple appears at upper centre-left, flanked by a European Union flag vignette at upper left and the 'EURO SOUVENIR' logotype in blue and orange at lower left. The series identifier '2020-2' is printed in small type beneath the EU flag, and the serial number and issuer code 'UERC' appear at lower right alongside the facsimile signature of R. Faille, C.E.O. |

The zero-euro souvenir note program launched commercially around 2015, driven by the UERC as a licensed collectible — legal in design reproduction but with no monetary value and no central bank backing. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few security printers with ECB approval to reproduce euro-format notes, handles the bulk of production. The Lumigny zoo in Seine-et-Marne, southeast of Paris, is a privately operated wildlife park specializing in large cats and primates — a minor but enthusiastic participant in a program that had issued notes for hundreds of European attractions by 2020.
