| Obverse description | The centre of the note carries the denomination and bilingual Italian and Greek text set within a fine guilloche underprint, flanked on either side by cornucopia vignettes. A figure of Hermes appears at right as the principal allegorical motif, rendered in a classical intaglio style. The overall composition is formal and symmetrical, characteristic of Italian occupation currency produced by the Istituto Poligrafico. |
