| Opmerkingen |
Eglosheim, a small village near Ludwigsburg in Württemberg, hosted one of the many German prisoner-of-war camps that issued internal camp currency during the First World War. These Lagergeld notes were a practical administrative measure — they prevented prisoners from accumulating Reichsmark that could fund escapes and kept canteen transactions traceable. The violet paper is characteristic of lower-denomination camp scrip, where color-coding by value reduced fraud and simplified handling by guards with no banking background.
Campbell 2923 is sparsely documented, and surviving examples are uncommon — most camp scrip was destroyed or simply discarded at war's end.
