During World War One, French military regions were authorized to issue scrip for use in prisoner-of-war camps under their jurisdiction. The 15ème Région Militaire covered the Marseille area — Bouches-du-Rhône — and this 5 Francs note circulated internally among POWs held there, functioning as camp currency rather than anything redeemable outside the wire. Such issues were deliberately restricted in convertibility to prevent escape-funded purchases.
Camp scrip from this region is poorly documented, with few surviving examples recorded in major collections. The paper itself was often thin and cheaply produced, and attrition from daily handling in camp conditions was high.
