| Obverse description | The obverse presents a side-by-side juxtaposition of the 500 Deutsche Mark banknote and the 200 Euro design draft, serving as an educational conversion reference with inscribed exchange rates reading 500,00 DM = 255,65 Euro and 200,00 Euro = 391,17 DM. The denomination and currency symbol appear in both Latin and Greek scripts, accompanied by a SPECIMEN overprint and the AA000000 zero serial number. The overall composition functions as a transitional souvenir piece produced during the preparatory phase of euro introduction. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centres on a vignette of the European continent rendered in cartographic style, encircled by the twelve gold stars of the European Union. The border incorporates the European flag alongside the eleven national flags of the founding eurozone member states that had fulfilled the convergence criteria at the time of design, Greece being notably absent. A copyright inscription attributes the design jointly to the European Monetary Institute (1997) and the European Central Bank (1998), confirming the draft status of this souvenir piece. |
