The two hundred euro note (200 €) is the second highest value euro banknote (and the highest value banknote in production) and has been used since the introduction of the euro (in its cash form) in 2002.[7] The note is used in the 26 countries that have the euro as their sole currency (with 24 legally adopting it); with a population of about 343 million.[8] In July 2023, there were approximately 849 000 000 banknotes of 200 € in circulation around the eurozone. It is the second least widely circulated denomination, accounting for 2.9% of the total banknotes.[9]
It is the second-largest note, measuring 153 × 82 mm, and the first series has a yellow color scheme and the second series has a brown color scheme.[5] The two hundred euro banknotes depict bridges and arches/doorways in Art nouveau style (19th and 20th centuries). The 200 € note contains several complex security features such as watermarks, invisible ink, holograms and microprinting that document its authenticity.
The new banknotes of the Europa series 200 euro banknote was released on 28 May 2019.[10]
