PEEA was the resistance government formed in the mountains of occupied Greece in March 1944, a direct challenge to both the Axis-backed Athens administration and the Greek government-in-exile in Cairo. These notes were issued to pay guerrilla fighters and civil administrators operating in liberated zones — the oka being a pre-metric unit of weight repurposed here as a denomination, which tells you something about how improvised the entire monetary apparatus was.
Printed in conditions of active occupation, paper quality and impression consistency vary significantly across surviving examples. The series was rendered obsolete within months by the Liberation and the subsequent currency reforms of late 1944.
