| Beschrijving keerzijde | Green denomination numerals '100' in large format at center on a dense yellow-green arabesque and foliate guilloche underprint covering the entire field. The upper portion carries the issuing authority name and branch in Greek, with the denomination text arranged symmetrically around the central numeral. The overall design is typographic with no pictorial vignette, relying entirely on the ornamental guilloche pattern for visual effect. |

Greece's hyperinflation of 1943–44 was among the worst the twentieth century produced. The occupation authorities — German, Italian, and Bulgarian — financed their operations by forcing the Bank of Greece to print, and the drachma collapsed accordingly. By late 1944, denominations that would have been unimaginable five years earlier were routine instruments of daily trade.
The Corfu branch issue is the telling detail here. Regional branches of the Bank of Greece were authorized to overstamp or separately issue notes as logistical conditions demanded — Corfu's geographic isolation as an Ionian island made central supply unreliable. This branch provenance is what distinguishes P#156 from the Athens-issued notes of the same denomination and period.
