| Opmerkingen |
Prisoner-of-war camp scrip issued in Belgium during the final year of the First World War, denominated in Pfennig to keep Italian prisoners economically isolated from the local Belgian economy. The XVI Kommando designation indicates a specific administrative district within the German occupation's POW labor management structure — the "1./2." prefix suggests dual-company administrative jurisdiction, an organizational detail that shifted frequently as prisoner numbers fluctuated in 1918.
Brussels as the printing location reflects German occupation infrastructure rather than any centralized Reich printing authority. These camp issues were typically produced locally, on whatever materials were available, which accounts for the wide variation in paper quality across surviving examples of Belgian POW scrip from this period.
