| Reverse description | The reverse follows the standard Euro Souvenir series design, rendered in violet, lavender, and warm orange tones over a dense guilloche underprint with a repeating micro-text pattern. A composite vignette assembles six iconic European landmarks: the Brandenburg Gate, the Torre de Belém, the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, the Sagrada Família, and the Manneken-Pis statue, arranged across the full width of the note. The large '0€' denomination appears in the upper left, a ring of multicoloured stars runs along the upper border, and the 'EURO SOUVENIR' logotype is printed in the lower right corner. |

The 0 Euro souvenir series, produced by Oberthur Fiduciaire for the European commemorative market, has no legal tender status anywhere — the Czech Republic is not in the eurozone and never has been. This particular piece marks the 80th anniversary of the Prague Uprising of May 1945, a five-day armed revolt against the German occupation that began on 5 May and cost roughly 1,700 Czech lives before Soviet forces arrived. The timing of that relief — and who deserved credit for it — became a point of ideological contention for decades afterward during the communist period.
