The face is framed by elaborate guilloche border work rendered in fine intaglio line engraving, characteristic of American Bank Note Company production of the period.

Opmerkingen

The National Bank of Greece turned to the American Bank Note Company for this series at a time when Greek sovereign credit was fragile and the country was still navigating the fiscal aftermath of its post-independence decades. ABNC was the prestige choice for smaller nations seeking notes that would project stability — the New York imprint carried weight with a skeptical public.

The multi-year date range reflects a practice of issuing against a single print run over an extended period rather than commissioning fresh notes annually. Survivors from this series are genuinely scarce; Greece's turbulent monetary history through the 1880s meant high redemption rates and poor archival survival.
