Lionandi was one of several prisoner-of-war camps established in Swaziland under British administration during the Second World War. Internal camp scrip of this type was issued to control purchasing within camp canteens — a deliberate policy to prevent real currency from accumulating in prisoner hands, where it could fund escape attempts or black-market dealings with guards.
The Cambridge reference places this among a handful of documented Swazi PoW issues, most of which survive in very small numbers. Camp scrip was routinely destroyed or simply discarded at the war's end, giving it no official redemption path.
