Greece's postwar hyperinflation had already peaked by late 1944 — the infamous 100 trillion drachmai notes belong to that period — but the monetary wreckage lingered. This 20,000 drachmai note, issued in 1947 under a stabilization regime still struggling to reassert credibility, represents a denomination that would have been unthinkable before the war. Bradbury Wilkinson printed it in New Malden, as they did much of the Bank of Greece's emergency and transitional output during this period.
The six palmettes at the base are a detail used to distinguish this variant within what is otherwise a crowded and confusing series of high-denomination notes sharing closely related designs.
