One Pfennig Bank Note from Preussisch Holland

Notes:

This one-Pfennig note was valid for use only when prisoners made purchases within the prison camp at Preussisch Holland. German authorities issued limited prison script to preempt attempts to bribe German guards and to eliminate the currency's use in the event of a POW escape from the facility. Note the Prussian Ministry of War stamp on the note.
