The denomination 0 EURO is repeated in the lower portion alongside printer and country-of-manufacture credits. The overall layout follows the uniform Oberthur Fiduciaire Euro Souvenir reverse format. |

The zero-euro souvenir note is a French invention — literally. The concept was launched in 2015 by Richard Faivre, who correctly calculated that tourists would pay €2–3 for a banknote-format keepsake that cost essentially nothing to redeem. Oberthur has printed the vast majority of the series, and by 2023 the catalog of subjects ran into the thousands, covering everything from European landmarks to regional festivals. Portugal joined the format enthusiastically, with numerous sites and attractions commissioning their own editions.
The Telecabine Lisboa is the cable car system along the Parque das Nações waterfront, built for Expo '98. These notes are legal tender in denomination only — the ECB permits the zero-euro format specifically because no actual monetary obligation attaches to them.
