Greece's wartime hyperinflation was among the worst in recorded history. By late 1944, the occupying Axis powers had systematically looted the Greek economy and forced the Bank of Greece to print currency to cover occupation costs, triggering a collapse so severe that denominations climbed from hundreds to billions of drachmai within months. This note — ten billion drachmai — was not an anomaly but a routine transaction instrument by the time it entered circulation.
The printing quantity of just under eleven million notes is modest given the circumstances, suggesting this denomination appeared relatively late in the spiral, when even larger notes were already being prepared.
