| Reverse description | The reverse carries a finely engraved pastoral vignette of cotton harvesting, with three figures — two men and a woman — working in a lush cotton field against a rolling highland landscape in the background. The scene is rendered in olive-green and brown intaglio over a light multicolour guilloche underprint, with cotton plants detailed in the foreground. The denomination numeral "200" appears in each corner, and a circular optically variable ink device is present at the lower right. |
