The "Nea Drachma" series of 1953 was a direct consequence of Greece's currency reform of that year, in which 1,000 old drachmai were revalued to 1 new drachma — an attempt to stabilize a currency that had been wrecked by wartime occupation inflation and the subsequent civil war. This note entered circulation as part of that redenomination framework.
Printed in-house by the Bank of Greece Printing Works rather than contracted to a foreign security printer, the series reflects the bank's postwar effort to rebuild domestic production capacity. Pick 185B designates the specific signature variety within the series.
