Vilsbiburg is a small market town in Lower Bavaria, and its 1920 Pfennig notgeld was issued during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the immediate postwar period — municipal and district authorities across the country filled the vacuum left by the collapse of imperial coinage hoarding. At the Bezirk level, these were purely practical instruments, authorized locally and valid only within the issuing district's boundaries.
At 32 × 25.5 mm, this is among the smaller notgeld pieces of its type — closer in scale to a postage stamp than a conventional banknote.
