| Opmerkingen |
Greece was occupied by Axis forces from April 1941, and the occupying authorities immediately sought to control the money supply. Notes already in circulation — including this 1000 Drachmai — were invalidated through punch cancellation rather than physical withdrawal, a practical measure given the disruption to normal banking infrastructure.
The ABNC printing origin matters here: these notes had been produced in New York before the occupation, part of a supply arrangement that became impossible to continue once Greece fell. Punch-cancelled survivors are common enough; uncancelled circulated examples from the occupation period are considerably harder to place with confidence.
