| Opmerkingen |
POW camp scrip from the First World War occupies one of the more legally ambiguous corners of emergency currency. Camp canteen notes were issued by the detaining power — in this case almost certainly under British or French military administration — to prevent prisoners from accumulating official coin that could fund escape attempts or be smuggled out. The 5 centimes denomination places this squarely in a French-administered or French-territory camp context.
Campbell 4883 is thinly documented. Surviving examples are rare simply because most scrip was demonetized and pulped at war's end.
