200 Cape Verde Escudo Polymer Banknote (Henrique Teixeira De Sousa)

200 Escudos Escudo (Issued 2019)

The polymer composition of this 200 Escudos banknote is immediately apparent from its smooth, durable tactile surface and the vibrant saturation of its colour palette. The note displays a sophisticated gradient transition from pale peach and cream tones on the left through golden yellow in the central band to deeper coral pink on the right side. The modern polymer substrate retains sharp definition across all printed elements, with no visible wear, creasing, or discolouration present in this specimen. The enhanced durability and longevity of polymer production reflect contemporary currency manufacturing standards established well into the twenty-first century.

On the front, the denomination “200 ESCUDOS” appears in large text aligned to the left margin in a warm terracotta shade. Above this, the issuing authority “BANCO DE CABO VERDE” is clearly printed. The central and dominant feature is a fine engraved portrait of a male subject rendered in deep magenta and burgundy tones, positioned in the right-centre area of the note. To the left of the portrait, yellow and golden botanical imagery depicting grape bunches is visible with fine linework detail. A vertical security strip bearing the alphanumeric sequence “AJ983497” runs along the right edge in matching magenta colouring. Intricate geometric guilloché patterns in fine parallel lines form the background across both the left and central zones. The number “200” is repeated in large format on the right side of the note in coral pink tones. Fine linear texturing in the background creates depth and complexity across the entire obverse surface.

The reverse presents a striking landscape composition dominated by a volcanic mountain formation rendered in soft pink, red, and cream tones across the lower two-thirds of the design. Golden yellow grape vine imagery appears on the left side, mirroring the botanical theme from the obverse. The denomination “200” is displayed prominently in large burgundy numerals in the upper left corner, with “200” repeated again in white text in the lower centre area of the landscape. Text reading “BANCO DE CABO VERDE” and “DUZENTOS ESCUDOS” appears on the right side in burgundy and brown typography. Fine parallel line patterns create a subtle textile-like background across the full width of the note in peachy and cream shades. The overall composition balances bold numeral placement with detailed landscape engraving and maintains consistent colour harmony with the obverse design.
