Peveril Camp, located near Peel on the Isle of Man, held civilian internees during the Second World War — primarily German and Austrian nationals, including a significant number of Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi persecution only to be swept up in Britain's mass internment of "enemy aliens" following the fall of France in 1940. The camp issued its own internal currency to prevent internees from accumulating sterling, a policy applied across most Isle of Man internment camps.
The color designation "Orange" distinguishes this note within the Peveril series, where different denominations or issue periods were printed on different colored stock rather than engraved with elaborate security features. The paper and printing were deliberately simple — these were administrative instruments, not banking products.
