| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in warm amber, olive, and cream tones with a fine guilloche underprint across the entire field. The central vignette presents a Czech Hetzer tank destroyer marked 'ČS. ROZHLAS' set against a panoramic view of a neoclassical Prague building, evoking scenes from the May 1945 Prague Uprising. The EU flag with twelve gold stars appears in the upper left corner, while the large zero numeral is positioned to the left; designer and CEO signatures, the series reference 'CZAH', and the inscription 'EUROSOUVENIR 2025-5' are printed in the lower portion. |

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.
