| Reverse description | The central field carries an elaborate intaglio collage of decorative architectural elements drawn from the museum building, including a large ornamental boss with foliate scrollwork at upper centre, a arched portico, wrought-iron railings, pilasters with cartouches, and a text-filled arch microprint panel. The Mahiloŭ city coat of arms appears to the upper right alongside a gold-ink security square, while the denomination 200000 is set in large numerals at lower centre against a fine multicolour guilloche ground in green and pale rose. The legend ДЗВЕСЦЕ ТЫСЯЧ РУБЛЁЎ is repeated in bold letterpress across the top of the note. |

| 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.
