It's an old notation. It's a 200c (c=100 so cc= 200)

I have a number of remedies with that notation in my collection.
You also find a 200c often labelled as a 2c.

Great, thankyou!
So is there any way of making a reasoned guess about whether the label or
article means 2 or 200?)

Hello everyone,

Hahnemann sometimes used the capital C to stand for the 100c. In the
case of Madam Petit (DF-5, 1837-1842) he wrote the Sulphur symbol followed
by a C. The very next prescription was the Arabic 95. It seems he moved
downward in the case from the 100c to the 95c. Boenninghausen occasionally
use 2C to mean 200c, etc.
