正面描述 Printed in black letterpress on buff-yellow paper stock, the face carries bold sans-serif text reading 'PRISONER OF WAR CAMP / GREELEY, COLO.' across the upper portion, with a ruled rectangular panel at right bearing the large denomination numeral '5' above 'CENTS'. A red serial number is positioned in the lower centre field, with the cautionary legend 'NOT GOOD IF DETACHED' printed at lower left, reflecting the utilitarian production standards applied to World War II prisoner-of-war camp scrip.

背面描述 The reverse is entirely unprinted on the same buff-yellow stock, with no text, vignette, or ornamental device, consistent with the austere, functional nature of wartime prisoner-of-war camp voucher issues.

备注

POW camp scrip issued under the Geneva Convention framework that required the United States to pay German and Italian prisoners for labor — at a rate of eighty cents per day for enlisted men. The scrip substituted for real currency to prevent prisoners from accumulating dollars usable for bribery or escape funding. Camp Greeley, like most U.S. internment facilities, had its own series printed locally rather than through any central federal program, which accounts for the considerable variation in design and print quality across camps.

Colorado camps drew heavily on agricultural labor, particularly sugar beet harvesting. The scrip circulated in the camp canteen.
