Nezsider — known today as Neusiedl am See in Austria, then within Hungary — housed civilian internees during the First World War, part of the Habsburg Empire's extensive system of camps for enemy aliens and displaced persons. The K.u.K. internment camps issued their own internal currency to control purchasing and prevent the hoarding of imperial coinage, a practical measure repeated across the warring powers but executed with particular bureaucratic thoroughness by Vienna.
Globus was a legitimate commercial press in Budapest, and their involvement gives this note a more finished appearance than many camp issues. The dual-language denomination — German and Hungarian — reflects the administrative reality of the camp's location straddling linguistic zones within Cisleithania.
