Pick 83 is a bisected note — a 1000 Drachmai cut in half, with each half circulating as 500 Drachmai. This was not an informal wartime improvisation but an officially sanctioned measure, part of Greece's painful monetary stabilization effort in 1926 as the country grappled with the financial fallout from the Asia Minor catastrophe and the massive refugee resettlement burden that followed the 1923 population exchange with Turkey.
Bradbury, Wilkinson printed the parent sheet; the bisection and overprinting authorizing half-note circulation were applied domestically.
