PEEA — the Political Committee of National Liberation — functioned as a resistance government operating from the mountains of occupied Greece, and this note is one of the very few examples of a fully clandestine wartime administration issuing its own currency on its own soil. Printed somewhere within "Free Greece," the Axis-unoccupied highland interior, the exact press location has never been definitively established in the literature.
The oka, an Ottoman-era unit of weight repurposed here as a denomination, speaks to how improvised the entire monetary project was. No central bank, no established printing infrastructure — just a committee asserting financial authority in a war zone.
