0 Euro. France. Lascaux Cave

This is a souvenir of 0 Euro banknotes with watermarks and other security features that have genuine banknotes.

On the obverse side of the banknote is the Lascaux Cave or Lascaux in France – one of the most important late Paleolithic monuments in terms of quantity, quality and preservation of cave paintings. Images were hand-made by 25 artists in two years of work: 1900 paintings (pigments identical in composition to Paleolithic) and engravings were applied to polymer surfaces with a total area of 900 m2.

The zero-euro backside depicts the best-known European architecture and art objects: (left to right) Brandenburg Gate, Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, Sagrada Familia, Manneken Pis and Mona Lisa.
