The National Bank of Greece turned to Bradbury Wilkinson during a period of acute monetary stress — Greece had just emerged from the Greco-Turkish War and the catastrophic population exchange that followed, absorbing over a million refugees from Anatolia. The fiscal strain was enormous, and high-denomination notes were a practical necessity rather than a policy choice.
This issue belongs to a series that was later overstamped and revalidated as Greek monetary administration scrambled to manage inflation and successive currency reforms through the mid-1920s. Unoverprinted examples in unaltered original state are the ones worth careful attention.
