The National Bank of Greece turned to the American Bank Note Company for this series at a time when domestic printing infrastructure could not meet the quality or security demands the bank required. ABNC's New York plant was the prestige choice for southern European and Balkan issuers in the early twentieth century, and several Greek series from this period share the same contractor.
The issue span of nearly a decade across 1909–1918 means these notes circulated through the Balkan Wars, Greek participation in the First World War, and the bitter political rupture known as the National Schism — the constitutional crisis that split the country between Venizelist and royalist factions. Notes from the later dates in the series would have changed hands during serious economic disruption.
