| Obverse description | The People's Republic of Bulgaria coat of arms — a rampant lion within an oval wreath of wheat ears surmounted by a five-pointed star and bearing the date 9.IX.1944 — is set to the left, printed in intaglio on a fine guilloche underprint. To the right, the denomination numeral '200' appears in large bold type within an ornate foliate vignette, with the value inscription in a rectangular cartouche below. Serial numbers are printed in red at upper left and upper right, and two facsimile signatures appear beneath the vignette, identified by the titles УПРАВИТЕЛ and Н-К КАСОВИЯ ОТДЕЛ. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette shows a bare-chested miner at work within a mine tunnel, operating a pneumatic drill against a rock face, rendered in a bold intaglio engraving style characteristic of socialist-realist iconography. Flanking the central vignette are two ornate guilloche panels each bearing the numeral '200', with elaborate lace-pattern borders running along the left and right edges. The bank name appears in French along the top margin, and a legal warning against forgery is inscribed in a cartouche at the bottom. |
