| Opmerkingen |
Bhopal State operated one of the princely India POW camp currencies during the Second World War, issuing scrip in annas denominations for use among Axis prisoners held under Indian jurisdiction. These internal camp currencies were administrative tools — they allowed prisoners limited purchasing access within canteen systems while preventing any accumulation of rupee currency that could fund escape attempts.
Campbell 5102 is among the scarcer anna-denomination survivors. Camp scrip from princely state facilities was routinely destroyed at the close of hostilities rather than redeemed, which accounts for the low attrition rate in collections today.
