In occupied Greece, the Bank of Greece printed ever larger notes such as this 25,000 Drachmai of 1943 as hyperinflation took hold. After Yugoslavia was invaded in April 1941, the Serbian National Bank under German occupation issued its own dinar notes, including this 50 Dinara dated 1 May 1942. In 1944, with Italy split between the Allied south and the German-controlled north, the Treasury issued small state notes of 1, 2 and 5 Lire because change was scarce. After D-Day, the Allies brought notes printed in the United States to liberated France; General de Gaulle objected to them as a challenge to French sovereignty. Finally, the Czechoslovak 20 Korun entered circulation on 1 November 1945, when the koruna was restored after the occupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermany 5 Reichsmark: a farmer with a tool and a worker with a hammer; the Reichstag entrance on the back.\u003cbr\u003eGreece 25,000 Drachmai: a classical profile of Deidamia from the sculptures of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.\u003cbr\u003eCzechoslovakia 20 Korun: a post-war Czechoslovak design (see photographs).\u003cbr\u003eItaly 2 Lire: the laureate head of Italia in an oval, with \"ITALIA\" and \"MINISTERO DEL TESORO\".\u003cbr\u003eFrance 2 Francs: torches on the front and the French tricolour on the back.\u003cbr\u003eSerbia 50 Dinara: Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, Prince-Bishop of Montenegro and poet, with the Serbian double-headed eagle on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banknote set (circulation and military notes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Italy, France, Serbia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1940–1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e P-R138a, P-122, P-61, P-30, P-114, P-29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrades are given per note in the list above. \u003cstrong\u003eVF (Very Fine):\u003c\/strong\u003e shows clear signs of circulation, such as several folds and minor edge wear, while remaining fully intact with clear design details. \u003cstrong\u003eF (Fine) \/ VG (Very Good):\u003c\/strong\u003e well circulated, with folds, softness and some edge wear, but complete and clearly readable.
