0 Euro. Netherlands. Garden Market Arnhem Bridge

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

Operation Market Garden began on September 17, 1944. The Allies tried to force a quick breakthrough into Germany with a major offensive. This is the largest operation in the Netherlands, and it was supposed to be the beginning of the liberation of the southern Netherlands. However, the battle of Arnhem was lost on September 25, 1944, so the war lasted more than six months. Since Operation Market Garden coincided with a strike on the railway, food shortages arose mainly in the west of the Netherlands, resulting in a hungry winter of 1944/45.

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.
