Greece's wartime hyperinflation was among the worst the twentieth century produced. By October 1944, the drachma had collapsed so completely that a single gold sovereign was trading for approximately two billion paper drachmai. This one-million drachma note, printed by the Bank of Greece's own works in Athens, was already functionally worthless by the time it circulated — a denomination that would have been unthinkable five years earlier.
The print date of 30 April 1945 places production after liberation, during the chaotic monetary cleanup preceding the November 1944 reform issue, in which eleven billion old drachmai were exchanged for a single new one.
