About this banknote
The Kingdom of Greece issued this 1 drachma banknote in 1917. The notes were printed by Aspioti-ELKA in Corfu as part of an effort to address wartime currency shortages during World War I. These emergency issues supplemented metal coinage, which was in short supply due to the war.
The front of the banknote features a brown design with Greek inscriptions, including the denomination "ΔΡΑΧΜΗ ΜΙΑ". The back is blue, displaying an intricate pattern with the Greek coat of arms under a crown, surrounded by foliage. The note is cataloged as Pick number 304.
