Cash notes. These were used by the occupation governments to pay for agricultural produce. Seventy five of any produce collected was paid for by these notes, which were valid for four months. Because no specific bearer was named they could be used for cash. There were four series. There were three fixed denominations in each of the first three series – 25,000 drachmas, 100,000 drachmas and 500,000 drachmas. The fourth series had the amount written by hand. This particular note is from the second series. |
