The Privileged Bank of Epirus and Thessaly was chartered following the Ottoman cession of Thessaly to Greece in 1881 — one of the country's first territorial gains after independence. The bank was established specifically to serve the newly incorporated provinces, which had their own distinct economic infrastructure and a population unaccustomed to Greek institutional banking. Bradbury Wilkinson produced the notes in London, a common arrangement for Greek peripheral issuers who lacked domestic printing capacity of any sophistication.
The 1 Drachme denomination would have been the workhorse of daily retail exchange in a largely agricultural region. The bank's concession was short-lived; it was eventually absorbed into the broader Greek banking consolidation of the early twentieth century.
