Prisoner-of-war camp money issued at Avignon in 1921 — three years after the Armistice — reflects the protracted administrative limbo facing German POWs held by France well past the end of hostilities. Repatriation dragged on for years under the terms of the Versailles settlement, and camps maintained internal scrip systems long after any military rationale had dissolved. The issuing authority, literally "prisoner community in Avignon," points to a degree of self-organization among the internees rather than French military administration handling the currency directly.
The two denominations sharing a single reference suggest a common printing run, likely produced on-site with minimal equipment.
