The Bank of Greece was only established in 1927, which makes a 1926 note bearing its name a preparatory production — printed in anticipation of the new central bank's inauguration before the institution legally existed. The American Bank Note Company completed the order, but the notes were never released into circulation.
Unissued ABNC remainders from this transitional period surface occasionally, typically in above-average condition for obvious reasons. The 1926 date locks this piece into the narrow window between Greece's monetary reorganization under the League of Nations stabilization protocol and the bank's formal opening.
