Comments

Pasing was an independent Bavarian municipality until its incorporation into Munich in 1938. This 1 Pfennig Notgeld piece dates from the acute small-change shortage of 1920, when German towns of even modest size were authorized — or simply compelled by circumstance — to print their own low-denomination emergency scrip. At this size, the note is closer to a postage stamp than any conventional currency format.

The DeNG reference places it within a known local series, but individual printings from small municipal issuers like Pasing were produced in limited runs with minimal quality controls, and paper survivability at this scale is poor.
