Pasing was an independent municipality southwest of Munich when this note was issued, absorbed into the city of Munich only in 1938. Like hundreds of German towns in the early 1920s, it printed its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to address the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War and the economic disruptions of Weimar's opening years. Meindl Druck, the local press in München-Pasing, handled production, which was common practice: municipalities contracted whatever printer was nearby and capable.
The underprint security feature is modest but deliberate — town-issued Notgeld attracted forgers once the denominations became worth the trouble.
