Pick 153 belongs to a brief, administratively awkward episode: the Allied liberation of the Ionian Islands in 1944 created an immediate need for local currency before the mainland banking system could function. The Bank of Greece's Ionian Islands Branch at Corfu was authorized to issue notes independently, something no regional branch had done before or since.
The occupation-era drachma had been catastrophically debased by Axis requisitioning — hyperinflation had rendered mainland notes nearly worthless by mid-1944. These Corfu issues circulated in a closed island economy where that damage was at least partially contained.
The series is notably scarce in any grade; print runs were small and the notes were quickly superseded by unified post-liberation issues.
