| Obverse description | A map of the Normandy coastline occupies the centre, with the five D-Day landing beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword) labelled alongside Allied national flags and directional arrows. A large intaglio-style zero numeral appears at left, flanked by the Union Jack and the series code. "Zero Pound" in script lettering is printed at lower left, with a guilloche underprint in lavender tones throughout. |

Euro Banknote Memory is a French novelty publisher, not a monetary authority — these zero-denomination commemorative pieces carry no legal tender status anywhere. EBM has produced dozens of similar items tied to historical anniversaries, typically sold directly to collectors through retail channels. Oberthur Fiduciaire, which holds genuine security printing contracts for multiple sovereign issuers, lends the series a degree of technical credibility that most souvenir notes lack, including the watermark substrate not typically found in simple facsimile products.
The D-Day hook is commercially reliable; the 80th anniversary market in 2024 was substantial.
