The two hundred lei banknote is one of the circulating denomination of the Romanian leu.

The main color of the banknote is orange. It pictures, on the obverse the playwright, and poet, Lucian Blaga, and on the reverse a watermill and the famous figurine known in Romania as the Hamangia Thinker (Romanian: Gânditorul de la Hamangia). The two hundred lei banknote is the only banknote that does not share size with any of the Euro banknotes. This is because it was issued at the end of the parallel circulation period of the old and new leu denominations.

History

In the past, the denomination was also in the coin form. Most recently in the 1940s.
