| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a panoramic view of Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster), the world's tallest church, rendered in green intaglio-style print with the city roofline in the foreground; the large numeral '0' with guilloche underprint appears to the left, flanked by the EU star-circle flag at upper left and a holographic security foil at upper right. The inscription 'Ulmer Münster' runs along the top, with 'MEMO EURO SCOPE' stacked at lower left alongside two circular security seals. |

Memo Euro Scope GmbH produces these zero-denomination collector notes under a licensing arrangement that permits use of the euro format for souvenir purposes, provided the notes cannot be mistaken for genuine currency — hence the "0 Euro" face value, which is legally unambiguous. The Ulmer Münster edition is one of dozens of site-specific issues the company has produced for German landmarks, each printed with a serial number to give buyers the illusion of scarcity, though print runs are rarely disclosed.
The inclusion of a security thread and hologram is deliberate commercial positioning, not a regulatory requirement for a zero-value note.
