Montoire-sur-le-Loir was one of several French towns that hosted depots for German officer prisoners during the First World War, and the officers interned there were permitted — under a loosely administered system — to issue their own camp scrip for use within the depot. These notes circulated exclusively among prisoners and were effectively self-guaranteed by the detaining community itself, a peculiar arrangement with no central banking oversight whatsoever.
Officer POW camps operated on different rules from enlisted men's camps; the Hague Conventions afforded officers considerably more latitude, including the maintenance of a quasi-monetary economy. Paper scrip from these depots survives in far smaller quantities than equivalent municipal emergency issues from the same period.
