| Opmerkingen |
French prisoner-of-war camp currency, issued by the 4th Military Region's POW depot at Le Mans during the First World War. These fractional notes filled a genuine practical gap: German and Austro-Hungarian prisoners needed a medium of exchange for canteen purchases, and allowing them access to official French francs was considered a security risk. The solution was a closed monetary system, redeemable only within the camp perimeter.
Le Mans held a significant prisoner population through much of the conflict. Camp-issued scrip from this depot survives in noticeably small quantities — most was recalled and destroyed at repatriation in 1919.
