Can anyone help to identify the reference number of this banknote and the meaning of IX.A.K
Any other information, as o where it was used would also be very helpful.
Have been looking at the Banknote Museum website, but cannot find it listed there.

It measures 55mm x 39.5mm and is made of cardboard about 3/4mm thick
I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.
For all you banknote collectors. Link to my swap list.

IX. A.K. refers to IX (9th) Armee-Korps.

Other than that, the compound word on the obverse, "Kriegsgefangenenlagergeld" means prisoner-of-war camp money.

I have found a note like yours here (Lot No. 630), which says it is from Güstrow POW camp:
