Purple and pale violet tones give Ethiopia’s 200 Birr note a restrained ceremonial presence, where peace, territory, and highland wildlife meet within a modern security-led design.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse places a flying dove with an olive branch at the centre, beside an outline map of Ethiopia in SPARK and a lion head motif. The composition brings together reconciliation, state identity, and national authority, while the vertical RollingStar security thread gives the note a distinctly contemporary visual structure.

Reverse

The reverse turns toward Ethiopia’s mountain ecology, showing a walia ibex against a rugged highland range. After the symbolic calm of the dove, the ibex introduces a more territorial and natural register, linking the denomination to Ethiopia’s endemic wildlife and elevated landscapes.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 200 Birr note represents Ethiopia’s highest modern circulation denomination from the 2020 issue, combining Giesecke+Devrient production with advanced security features, including a green RollingStar windowed security thread demetalized NBE 200 and a flying dove watermark. The Yinager Dessie signature, AA-BR prefix range, SPARK map element, and walia ibex reverse give the note a strong place within Ethiopia’s redesigned birr series.
