About this banknote
The Bank of Greece issued the 500,000 drachmai banknote in 1944. This series was introduced during the severe economic challenges of World War II, with hyperinflation prompting the issuance of high denomination notes to keep up with rising prices.
The front side of the banknote features a representation of a classical sculpture, central to the design, with inscriptions in Greek. The reverse displays ornate patterns with the denomination prominently in the center. This note, identified as Pick 126, measures 140 x 62 mm and is printed in black on a dull violet-brown underprint.
