| Obverse description | The obverse presents a panoramic vignette of Vienna's celebrated skyline, with the Hofburg Palace, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Prater Ferris wheel, and the Donauturm TV Tower arranged across the central field. A horse-drawn Fiaker carriage occupies the foreground, evoking the city's historic character. The denomination '0 EURO' appears in large numerals alongside the 'EUROSOUENIR' programme inscription and a five-star underprint motif, with the series designation '2025 - 5' and the signature of R. Faille as C.E.O. |

The 0 Euro souvenir program was launched in France in 2015 by EuroSouvenir and quickly expanded across European tourist sites. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the entire series to genuine banknote security specifications — UV-reactive ink, embedded security thread, intaglio printing — making these among the more technically serious items in the souvenir note category.
They carry no monetary value and are legal tender nowhere, but the ECB has formally confirmed they do not violate euro counterfeiting statutes precisely because the zero denomination removes any ambiguity. R. Faille's signature appears as a nominal "governor" credit, a consistent fiction across the series.
