| Comments |
Oberhollabrunn, a small market town in Lower Austria, became one of several imperial internment and refugee processing stations established after Austria-Hungary began mass relocating civilian populations from the Galician and Bukovinian war zones in 1914–15. The camps were administered directly by the imperial government — hence the "K.K." (Kaiserlich-Königlich) designation — and issued their own internal scrip because conventional currency was both scarce and impractical in a closed camp economy.
The yellow paper distinguishes the 1 Krone denomination within the series, a simple chromatic security measure to prevent substitution between values. Camp scrip of this type was strictly non-negotiable outside the wire.
