Göttingen's prisoner-of-war camp was one of dozens of German military detention facilities that resorted to internal camp scrip during the First World War, when the wartime coin shortage — caused by the hoarding and melting of copper and nickel — made conventional small change functionally impossible to circulate. The Reichsbank's response was slow, and local authorities, military camps among them, filled the gap themselves.
J. C. König & Ebhardt, the Hannover firm that printed this note, was primarily a stationer and bookbinder by trade — not a specialist security printer. That background shows in the relatively modest production values typical of camp issues, though the firm's local proximity to Göttingen made it a practical choice.
Campbell 3019 places this within a broader Göttingen camp series, with denominations apparently spanning at least several values.
