To the left stands an allegorical figure of Commerce or Industry, and to the right a seated figure of Justice holding scales and a sword, flanking the central composition; the denomination '200' appears in large numerals at upper left and upper right. The bank title 'BANCO DE MARACAIBO' is inscribed in bold letters across the upper register, with 'COMPAÑÍA ANÓNIMA' below, and the legend 'DOSCIENTOS BOLIVARES' appears in a panel at the lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in red on cream paper and composed of elaborate lathe-work guilloche patterns arranged symmetrically across the entire surface. Two large oval panels at left and right each bear the numeral '200' in bold, ornate lettering, while intricate geometric and floral engine-turned designs fill the intervening space; a scalloped decorative border frames the entire note. The imprint of the American Bank Note Company appears in small letters along the lower margin. |
