5 Centimes - Miramas Bouches-du-Rhône

French military prisoner-of-war camps operated their own internal scrip systems during the First World War, and the 15th Military Region — headquartered in Marseille — administered several such depots across the Bouches-du-Rhône. Miramas, a rail junction town on the Étang de Berre, held German and Austro-Hungarian prisoners put to agricultural and infrastructure labor. The camp scrip prevented detainees from accumulating currency usable outside the wire.

At the 5 centimes denomination, this is the lowest fractional value in the Miramas series — essentially a canteen token in paper form, issued to balance small transactions where metal coinage was deliberately withheld.
