The American Bank Note Company produced this issue during a period when Greece was still absorbing the financial consequences of the catastrophic 1922 defeat in Asia Minor and the massive population exchange that followed. The National Bank of Greece leaned heavily on foreign printers through the 1920s — ABNC in particular — partly for credibility, partly because domestic printing infrastructure was simply not equal to the volume demands of post-war monetary reconstruction.
Pick 88 is among the more frequently encountered Greek notes of the decade, which itself reflects something: the 10 Drachmai denomination was a workhorse, printed in large quantities and circulated hard.
