Miramas, a railway junction town in the Bouches-du-Rhône, hosted a prisoner-of-war depot during the First World War, and this 2 Franc note is among the scrip issues produced for internal camp use — a system that kept prisoners from handling standard French currency while still allowing controlled purchases within the wire. Such camp money circulated in a closed economy of canteen goods and was never intended to leave the depot.
French POW camp issues from this period are poorly documented in aggregate. Individual depot scrip was typically printed in very small quantities, often locally, and destroyed or simply lost at the armistice. Miramas examples surface rarely.
