| Beschrijving keerzijde | Brown and yellow-orange note with a simplified design centred on a large ornate numeral '5' enclosed within a radiating sunburst guilloche pattern and multiple concentric lathe-work rings. The issuer's title 'ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ' is printed in a panel at the top, with corner numerals '5' at each angle. The overall composition relies entirely on geometric guilloche underprint with no pictorial vignette. |

This note belongs to the emergency small-denomination paper issues Greece produced in the immediate aftermath of the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1943–44, during which the occupation-era drachma had collapsed so completely that prices were quoted in billions. The Liberation government inherited a currency in ruins. These low-value paper pieces were stopgaps — the drachma was redenominated in November 1944 at 50 billion old drachmai to one new, effectively wiping out the occupation-period money.
At 75 × 53 mm, this is among the smallest format notes Greece ever issued — a direct consequence of wartime paper shortages still affecting production well into 1945.
