The design is stark and utilitarian, consistent with wartime prisoner-of-war camp scrip production. |

| Opmerkingen |
XIV Armeekorps operated the prisoner of war camp at Karlsruhe during the First World War, and these fractional Pfennig notes were issued specifically for internal camp circulation — a closed economy designed to prevent prisoners from accumulating currency usable outside the wire. The 1 Pfennig denomination is among the smallest monetary tokens issued by any German military authority during that conflict.
The physical size alone tells you something: at under two centimeters in either dimension, handling and forgery resistance were clearly not priorities.
