About this banknote
The Bank of Greece issued this series of 5,000,000 drachmai banknotes in 1944. This issuance occurred during World War II, during a period of severe inflation in Greece. The hyperinflation prompted the introduction of higher denominations to cope with the rapidly increasing prices.
The front of the note features a prominent figure of Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of the harvest. The back side displays intricately woven patterns with the denomination prominently marked. This note, assigned as Pick 128, was printed on paper with dimensions of 140 x 62 mm.
