About this banknote
The Bank of Greece issued this banknote in 1944. The series was introduced during World War II, a period marked by significant economic instability and hyperinflation in Greece. Banknotes of increasingly higher denominations were produced to cope with the rapidly devaluing currency.
The front side design features an intricate portrayal with classical Greek figures and cattle. The back side displays a detailed geometric and ornamental pattern. This 200,000,000 drachmai note, cataloged as Pick 131, exemplifies the extreme currency denominations necessitated by hyperinflation during this era.
