[edit] Design

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

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

[edit] Security Features

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

There are fluorescent colours on the face and reverse of the banknote. An invisible lion on the face of the banknote appears under ultraviolet light. The green print on the reverse also appears under ultraviolet light. The invisible motifs and colours are printed together with the portrait and other motifs.
