| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown on a fine guilloche underprint and carries two circular vignettes at left and right, each reproducing an ancient Athenian silver tetradrachm coin: the left vignette shows the helmeted head of Athena in profile, while the right vignette shows the standing owl with olive sprig — both classic motifs of Athenian coinage. The large numeral 100.000 is centred between the coin vignettes, with the Greek legends ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ above and ΕΚΑΤΟΝ ΧΙΛΙΑΔΕΣ below, and the bank title ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ across the top; two manuscript signatures appear at the lower centre beneath the titles Ο ΔΙΟΙΚΗΤΗΣ and ΟΙ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΑΙ. |
