| Comments |
Belarus redenominated in 2000, lopping four zeros from the hyperinflationary rouble series that had accumulated through the 1990s — meaning this note's face value was equivalent to a pre-reform 2,000,000,000 rouble denomination in old terms. The National Bank issued the 200,000 rouble as part of a range that tried to stabilize a currency that had lost most of its purchasing power since independence.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the catalog data is almost certainly a database artifact or entry error. No Belarusian national banknote was printed in 1945.
