3 Pence U.S. Officers' Club; Base Section No. 2.

U.S. military scrip issued for use in Officers' Clubs operated by Base Section No. 2, which administered American logistical operations in the Persian Gulf Command — the supply corridor running through Iran used to move Lend-Lease materiel into the Soviet Union. These club chits circulated in a closed environment by design; keeping foreign currency out of officer recreational spending reduced black market pressure on local economies, a persistent problem across every Allied theater. The 3 pence denomination suggests interoperability with British military pricing structures already in use across the region.
