Greece 1944 200,000,000 Drachmai Banknote – WWII Hyperinflation – Bank of Greece - F
CA$40.00

Issued on September 9, 1944, this extraordinary 200 Million Drachmai note represents one of the final and most dramatic stages of Greek wartime hyperinflation during the Axis occupation of World War II.

The obverse features classical Greek relief artwork depicting agricultural and mythological figures, symbolizing national heritage amid economic collapse. The reverse displays an intricate guilloche design with bold central denomination “200” and ornate geometric security patterns typical of late-war Bank of Greece issues.

By late 1944, inflation had escalated to unprecedented levels, forcing the issuance of multi-million and eventually multi-billion denomination notes. These pieces are historically significant artifacts of economic crisis and wartime Europe.

A powerful addition for collectors specializing in:

  • WWII occupation currency

  • European hyperinflation notes

  • Greek drachma type sets

  • High-denomination historical banknotes
