By mid-1944, Axis occupation had pushed Greek inflation so far beyond control that the Bank of Greece was printing notes in denominations that would have been unimaginable four years earlier. The five million drachmai note arrived as part of a frantic escalation — the same year also saw issues of 25 million and eventually 100 billion drachmai — as prices doubled in days rather than months.
Printed domestically under occupation conditions, the technical quality reflects the constraints of the moment. The liberation in October 1944 brought an immediate currency reform: the new drachma replaced the old at a rate of 50 billion to one.
