| Reverse description | The reverse follows the standard Euro Souvenir format, presenting vignettes of six iconic European architectural monuments arranged across the note: the Colosseum (Rome), Manneken-Pis (Brussels), the Eiffel Tower (Paris), the Sagrada Família (Barcelona), the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin), and the Tower of Belém (Lisbon). A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is printed at the right margin, and the printer's credit appears at lower centre against a light guilloche underprint in the style of genuine euro banknotes. |

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.
