5 Drachmai Half of 10 Drachmai

正面描述	This note represents the left half of the 10 Drachmai note (P-37), bisected vertically for use as a 5 Drachmai denomination. The visible half retains the Greek royal arms vignette at left with the inscription ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ across the top, a central guilloche medallion bearing the numeral 10 and the legend ΔΕΚΑ, and an intaglio portrait of Hermes in winged helmet to the right. The lower portion carries a manuscript date and the ΤΑΜΙΑΣ designation, with the imprint of the American Bank Note Co. New York along the bottom border.

备注	This note is precisely what its name describes: a halved 10 Drachmai note, physically cut in two and reissued as a 5 Drachmai denomination. The practice was an emergency measure, not an oversight — Greece's chronic shortage of small-denomination currency in the late 19th century forced the National Bank to authorize bisection as official policy, with each half carrying legal tender status independently. The ABNC-printed parent note was designed for a very different purpose, and the cut line was never standardized. Surviving halves vary considerably in where the scissors fell.
