| 正面描述 | Uniface note printed in black on white paper, with the denomination and Greek-language text arranged in horizontal registers across the centre of the note. An embossed circular seal of the Provisional Administration of Greece appears at upper-left, while an oval intaglio vignette of the seal with a standing allegorical figure is placed at lower-right. Manuscript signatures and handwritten notations are present, consistent with the hand-issued nature of this early Greek emergency currency. |

The Provisional Administration of Greece issued this note in 1822, during the active phase of the War of Independence against Ottoman rule. Greece had no functioning central bank — the provisional government was issuing paper obligations largely on the strength of anticipated foreign loans and the goodwill of a population fighting a revolution. The grosia (or grossia) denomination was inherited from Ottoman monetary convention, used simply because it was what the public understood.
Pick 5 is among the earliest documented paper money attributable to any Greek governing authority. Survival rates are predictably low given the conditions under which these circulated.
