200-krone banknote, 1997 series


On 9 April 2003 a more secure 200-krone banknote was issued with a hologram and fluorescent colours which are visible under ultraviolet light. The motifs and format are the same as the previous 200-krone banknote issued on 10 March 1997.





Format: 145 mm x 72 mm. Issued on 9 April 2003

The hologram gives movement to the banknote
The hologram is an important security feature because it enables the recipient to verify the authenticity of a banknote quickly. It cannot be colour copied.

When the banknote is tilted various motifs appear: A lion, the Roman numeral "CC" and the number "200". When the note is tilted the "CC" grows larger.

Fluorescent colours – invisible in daylight
There are fluorescent colours on the face and reverse of the banknote. An invisible lion on the face of the banknote shine under ultraviolet light. The green print on the reverse shine under ultraviolet light. The invisible motifs and colours are printed together with the portrait and other motifs.

The portrait of Johanne Luise Heiberg
The face of the banknote bears a portrait of Johanne Luise Heiberg (22 November 1812 – 21 December 1890). She was one of the greatest Danish actresses of the 19th century and on countless occasions took Royal Theatre in Copenhagen by storm. Her autobiography "Et liv genoplevet i erindringen" (A Life Relived in Memory) is a major literary work from the Danish golden age.



The lion on the reverse
The motif on the reverse of the 200-krone banknote is a lion from the apse of Viborg Cathedral.


Denmark's first 200-krone banknote
When the 200-krone banknote was issued in 1997, this was the first time a 200-krone banknote was included in a Danish banknote series. The background was that a banknote with greater purchasing power than 100 kroner was needed for cash dispensers.
