An ancient Athenian tetradrachm coin motif appears at lower centre, lending a classical Hellenic character to the design. |

Greece's decision to establish its own banknote printing facility at Holargos — operational by the early 1950s — was a deliberate move away from foreign printers like De La Rue and the American Bank Note Company, both of which had handled Greek issues for decades. This 1954 note belongs to that first wave of domestically produced currency, and the Holargos facility was still finding its footing in terms of intaglio consistency during this period.
The watermark is the sole security feature — modest even by 1954 standards, reflecting the low face value and correspondingly brief expected circulation life of small-denomination notes in postwar Greece, where inflation from the 1940s had badly eroded public confidence in paper.
