| Obverse description | The obverse presents a side-by-side comparison of the 200 Deutsche Mark banknote and the proposed 100 Euro banknote design, illustrating the conversion equivalence between the two currencies. The vignette serves as a transitional educational graphic linking the outgoing German currency to the incoming European common currency. The layout includes conversion rate notations and specimen overprints in place of serial elements. |

| Reverse description | At the centre, a cartographic vignette of the European continent is framed by the twelve gold stars of the European Union emblem. Surrounding the central map, the European flag and the eleven national flags of the founding eurozone member states — notably prior to Greece's accession — are arranged along the border. The overall composition functions as a symbolic representation of European monetary unity under the nascent euro framework. |
