Greece entered World War II on October 28, 1940, when Metaxas famously refused Mussolini's ultimatum — and the Italian invasion that followed within hours effectively ended any prospect of new coinage entering circulation. This pattern was struck the same year, almost certainly rendered obsolete before the dies ever saw production use. The Axis occupation that began in 1941 brought catastrophic hyperinflation, making a copper 100-drachmai piece an economic absurdity in any case.
