| Comments |
Kenyérmező was one of several large Austro-Hungarian prisoner-of-war camps established in Hungary during the First World War, and like many such installations, it issued its own scrip to keep foreign currency — and the economic friction it caused — out of the camp economy entirely. These Lagergeld issues circulated only within the wire, redeemable for nothing outside it.
Campbell 1392 is among the scarcer Central Powers camp issues simply because most were withdrawn and pulped at the armistice. Surviving examples almost always show heavy use.
