| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central vignette, rendered in brown intaglio, presents a finely detailed view of the Academy of Athens, its neoclassical façade with Ionic colonnade flanked by two tall columns each surmounted by seated statues, with sculpted figures visible at the entrance stairs and lush garden plantings in the foreground. Large guilloche medallions bearing the numeral '10' occupy the left and right margins within blue decorative panels incorporating fleur-de-lis ornaments. The upper border repeats the title ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ in white lettering on blue, while a two-line anti-counterfeiting warning runs along the lower border, and the printer's imprint LEIPZIG – GIESECKE & DEVRIENT – BERLIN appears at the foot. |

Giesecke & Devrient printed this note in Germany at a moment of acute political tension — Greece received delivery of a currency order from a Leipzig and Berlin firm just months before Italy's invasion in October 1940 and the subsequent German occupation. Whether the full print run reached Athens before the war cut off normal commercial relations is unclear, but 12,175,000 pieces is a substantial quantity for a low denomination.
The Ministry of Finance issuing authority rather than the Bank of Greece reflects a fiscal arrangement specific to smaller wartime and pre-war fractional notes, keeping central bank liabilities off certain short-term emission series.
