Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Poseidon, ancient Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses, depicted in classical sculptural form with characteristic curled beard and hair. Son of Cronus and brother of Zeus, Poseidon was one of the twelve Olympian deities and a central figure in Greek mythology, often depicted with his trident. This representation appears to be based on classical Hellenistic sculpture. The front also features a vignette showing ancient Greek figures in classical scene at lower right.
Back: Greek naval battle scene depicting a 19th-century Greek warship (likely from the Greek War of Independence era, 1821-1829) with full sails, engaged in combat. The scene includes dramatic naval action with smoke and cannon fire, representing Greece's maritime heritage and the struggle for independence from Ottoman rule. A female figure in traditional Greek costume appears at right, symbolizing the Greek nation or liberty.

Background & history
This 50 drachma note belongs to the 1978 series issued by the Bank of Greece, which remained in circulation until Greece adopted the Euro in 2002. The note reflects Greece's emphasis on classical heritage and independence struggles in its currency design. The drachma was one of the world's oldest currencies, with origins in ancient Greece, and this modern series continued the tradition of featuring mythological and historical themes. All drachma notes were demonetized on February 28, 2002, though they could be exchanged at Greek banks until 2012.
