French prisoner-of-war camp scrip occupies a genuinely obscure corner of WWI monetary history. Individual compagnies — administrative units grouping prisoners held in France — issued their own internal currency to allow camp commerce while preventing real francs from circulating among the captive population. The 62e Compagnie was one of dozens of such units, and denomination variety within a single compagnie's scrip was often narrow, making the 2 Franc piece the workhorse of whatever internal economy the camp sustained.
Survival rates are poor. Most camp scrip was destroyed, confiscated, or simply disintegrated given the improvised materials used in production.
