Greece's wartime occupation government financed itself partly through forced borrowing, and these Agricultural Treasury Bonds were one mechanism for doing so — nominally instruments of rural credit, practically a way of extracting value from a collapsing economy. By 1943, hyperinflation was already destroying the drachma at a pace that made printed denominations obsolete almost as soon as they were issued. The 500,000 drachmai figure, staggering by prewar standards, was a routine transactional amount within months of issue.
The "second issue" designation matters for attribution. Earlier Agricultural Treasury Bond issues of 1943 differ in serial numbering and overprint characteristics, and misidentification between the two is common in less careful cataloging.
