The underlying printed reverse design of the host 5,000 Drachmai note serves as the bearer document upon which the provisional authorization is applied. |

By mid-1944, Axis occupation had reduced the Greek drachma to near-worthlessness through unchecked money printing to fund occupation costs. This 500,000,000 drachmai note is among the highest denominations of that hyperinflationary collapse — a period when a single egg could cost billions of drachmai within weeks of a note's issue date. The Bank of Greece was effectively operating under duress, producing currency that depreciated faster than it could be distributed.
The Nauplia designation indicates the branch of payment, not a separate printing location. All notes in this occupation series were printed centrally.
At the November 1944 currency reform, 50 billion old drachmai were exchanged for a single new drachma.
