Hart bei Amstetten was one of the Austro-Hungarian officer prisoner-of-war camps, and its internal scrip was a practical solution to a genuine administrative problem: Allied officers were entitled under the Hague Convention to receive pay, but letting them hold Austro-Hungarian crown currency created obvious security concerns around escape funding. Camp-issued Lagergeld circulated only within the wire and was redeemable at the camp canteen.
Officer camps ran on different rules than those for enlisted men — the Hague obligations were taken seriously enough that the scrip denominations tracked real purchasing power inside the camp economy. The 20 Heller piece sat at a useful everyday value for canteen purchases.
