5 Lire Caserna Genova Cavalleria - n. 50

Italian military prisoner-of-war camp scrip occupies a genuinely odd corner of notaphily — issued not by a banking authority but by individual camp administrations to control internal purchasing and prevent real currency from circulating among captives. The "Caserna Genova Cavalleria" designation identifies the specific barracks unit responsible for this issue, a cavalry garrison converted to POW administration use during the war years.

The "n. 50" suffix likely denotes a series or print batch number rather than a denomination modifier — the 5 Lire face value being fixed. Orange paper was a deliberate choice across many camp issues to distinguish scrip from official Banca d'Italia notes at a glance.
