| Reverse description | The reverse carries an intaglio vignette of two hands reaching toward each other in an allusion to Michelangelo's Creation motif, rendered in fine line engraving against a pale guilloche background with the word "TACTUS" inscribed above. To the right, the Czech national coat of arms is displayed within a bordered panel, flanked by the numeral 200 at upper right and a small open-book vignette at lower right. The anti-counterfeiting legend "PADĚLÁNÍ BANKOVEK SE TRESTÁ PODLE ZÁKONA" runs along the lower margin. |

The 200 Korun series, introduced following the 1993 dissolution of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of a separate Czech currency, was designed entirely in-house — Kulhánek's work on Czech banknotes from this period is among the more artistically coherent post-socialist note design programs in Central Europe, deliberately distancing itself from the Soviet-inflected aesthetic of earlier Czechoslovak issues.
Státní Tiskárna Cenin has handled Czech security printing continuously since the communist period, one of the few state printing houses in the region to survive the transition without privatization or foreign acquisition.
