Prisoner of war camp currency issued at Bangalore was used to manage internal canteen economies among Axis prisoners held in British India during the Second World War. These scrip issues prevented POWs from accumulating official currency that could fund escape attempts — a practical security measure applied across British-run camps throughout the subcontinent.
Bangalore housed a substantial Italian prisoner population following North African campaigns, and camp scrip denominated in annas reflects the local monetary subdivision in use before Indian decimalization. The "Camp 6" designation distinguishes this issue from parallel scrip produced for other compounds within the broader Bangalore facility.
