| Beschrijving voorzijde | Intaglio portrait of Ioannis Capodistrias within a circular guilloche frame at left, set against a fine green underprint with intricate lathe-work patterns across the field. A central oval vignette with laurel wreath surround occupies the middle of the note, flanked at right by a circular guilloche panel bearing the denomination in Greek text and two manuscript signatures above the titles Ο ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΗΣ and Ο ΔΙΟΙΚΗΤΗΣ. The issuer's name ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ appears in a central banner, with the serial number printed in two positions. |

Greece in 1944 was simultaneously occupied by Axis forces and experiencing one of the worst hyperinflationary collapses of the twentieth century. The drachma had been effectively destroyed by occupation-era money printing — by late 1944, notes were being issued in denominations reaching into the hundreds of billions. A 500 drachmai note from this period was worth almost nothing at the time of issue.
The November 1944 currency reform replaced wartime drachmai at a rate of 50 billion old drachmai to one new drachma, rendering the entire wartime series obsolete almost immediately after printing.
