Pick 36 is a bisected note — a 10 Drachmai banknote physically cut in half and each half issued as a 5 Drachmai denomination. The National Bank of Greece resorted to this measure to address a shortage of small-denomination currency, a practice with occasional precedent in 19th-century monetary systems but rare enough to make these pieces genuinely unusual. Each half was only valid when presented with the matching serial number edge visible, though enforcement of that requirement in daily commerce was uneven at best.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced the parent 10 Drachmai sheet in London. The bisecting was done administratively in Greece, not at the press.
