Identification note: Exact Pick number depends on signatures and precise overprint type which are not fully legible from the images. | The note is clearly the National Bank of Greece Fifth Issue 1000 Drachmai dated 1 Nov 1926, printed by ABNC, with the Lion Gate of Mycenae reverse and a bold red ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ (Bank of Greece) overprint. In SCWPM, this overprinted 1000 Drachmai type is cataloged in the P-9x range; P-99 aligns with the 1000 Drachmai overprinted issue. Exact suffix (a/b/etc.) and sometimes even the base number can depend on the specific signature combination and the precise overprint style, which are not legible here. Therefore the main type is very likely, but the exact subtype/variety remains unverified.
