Commenti	The 1928 Greek drachma series, of which this 5000 Drachmai is the highest denomination, was issued following the currency stabilization program overseen by the League of Nations Financial Committee — the same intervention that had earlier rescued Austria and Hungary. Greece's fiscal crisis of the mid-1920s, compounded by the massive population displacement after the 1922 Greco-Turkish War, had left the drachma in freefall. The new series was intended to signal restored confidence. ABNC's involvement was typical of the period, when several European central banks turned to American security printers precisely because domestic printing infrastructure was either compromised or insufficiently trusted by foreign creditors monitoring the stabilization agreements.
