Greece's postwar monetary reconstruction was still incomplete when this note entered circulation. The catastrophic hyperinflation of the Axis occupation years had wiped out confidence in paper entirely — the 1944 reform had lopped off eleven zeros — and the 1953 devaluation that preceded this issue reset the drachma again at 1,000 old drachmai to one new. A 500-drachma note in 1955 represented serious purchasing power in a country still heavily dependent on agriculture and Marshall Plan support.
Printed domestically by the state printing works at Holargos, this series marked a deliberate shift away from the foreign contract printing that had been standard practice for Greek notes throughout the interwar decades.
