Description
This 50 Pfennige script (Lagergeld) was issued by the Inspector General office of the 14th Army Corps in Carlsruhe. This money could only be used by prisoners to make purchases inside of the prison camps administered by the 14th Army Corps Bezirke and could not be used as tender outside of these facilities. The use of script was designed to reduce the chance of bribery and escape attempts.
