Pasing was an independent Bavarian municipality — absorbed into Munich only in 1938 — and its 1921 Kleingeldersatz notes belong to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany as postwar coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. At this denomination, a single Pfennig note is about as low as Notgeld issuers ever went, and most pieces at this level saw heavy use before being rendered worthless by inflation within two years.
The DeNG catalog reference places this within a documented sub-series, suggesting Pasing issued multiple related types in close succession during 1921.
