备注

Green Point Track, on the Cape Flats outside Cape Town, was one of the first large Boer prisoner-of-war camps established by the British during the South African War. By mid-1900, the camp held several thousand men, and a token currency was introduced to allow internal trade while keeping British coin out of POW hands — standard British camp practice that was applied here earlier than at most other South African sites.

C. W. Barnes, whose signature appears as issuing authority, was the camp commandant. His personally signed camp scrip is among the rarest categories of South African military emergency paper, with Green Point issues in any denomination seldom surfacing at auction.
