Obverse description Uniface trial piece with an essentially plain field bearing no portrait or legend, save for a small rectangular engraver's mark inscribed 'MET.' positioned near the lower rim. The flat, unadorned surface confirms this piece as a reverse trial striking, with the obverse die left unworked. The gold-plated brass planchet exhibits the characteristic warm tone of the substrate metal.

Reverse description Central device depicts the Hungarian People's Republic coat of arms: a quartered shield with horizontal stripes and a hammer motif, surmounted by a five-pointed red star and encircled by a wreath of wheat ears tied at the base with a ribbon. The legend 'KÉTSZÁZ FORINT' arcs across the upper field, divided left and right of the central device, with a row of small stars bordering the lower arc. The mint mark 'BP.' and date '1968' appear in the exergue above the large numeral '200', while the inscription 'FAC SIMILE' is placed to the right of the exergue, identifying this piece as a facsimile trial striking.
