The Fleet C.P.O. Club scrip issued in the Admiralty Islands represents one of the more obscure categories in WWII-era military notaphily: mess and canteen tokens produced by senior enlisted men's clubs at forward Pacific bases, circulating entirely outside any official military payment certificate system. MacArthur's forces seized Manus Island in February 1944, and within months the base had grown into one of the largest Allied logistics hubs in the Southwest Pacific — the kind of installation that generated its own internal micro-economy almost immediately.
These pieces were printed locally under informal arrangements, and survival rates are low simply because nobody thought to keep them.
