| Obverse description | The Hellenic Coat of Arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a white cross on blue, framed by an olive wreath below. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ arcs around the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 200 ΕΥΡΩ appears in the lower field. The entire design is surrounded by an ornate border of stylized floral and foliate motifs in high relief, enclosed by a continuous Greek key (meander) pattern along the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed left-facing portrait bust of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle dominates the central field, rendered in a classical sculptural style with naturalistic beard and draped shoulders. The legend ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣ arcs along the upper left field, with the dates 384-322 π.Χ. indicating his lifespan inscribed to the left of the portrait. The year of issue 2014 appears to the right in the lower field. The design is framed by the same Greek key (meander) border that appears on the obverse, lending the coin a cohesive classical aesthetic. |
