| Comments |
Mauritania's 200 Ouguiya denomination has occupied an awkward middle position in the national series — large enough to matter for everyday transactions, small enough to circulate heavily and wear out fast. The 2013 issue (P#17) was printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig, a firm that has handled Mauritanian contract work across multiple series revisions since the Ouguiya's introduction in 1973, when it replaced the CFA franc at a rate of 1 Ouguiya to 5 francs.
Nothing anomalous is recorded for this specific print run.
