| Reverse description | The reverse of this provisional local issue bears a handstamped overprint accompanied by handwritten signatures of three local officials — Michopoulos, Mpitsakos, and Pantazopoulos — validating the note for circulation in the Nauplia district. The underlying printed reverse design of the host 5,000 Drachmai note serves as the bearer document upon which the provisional authorization is applied. |
