Passau's 1918 Kleingeldersatz issues belong to the vast wave of German municipal emergency money — Notgeld — produced as small-denomination coins vanished from circulation during the war. At 21 × 21 mm, this is among the smallest paper notes issued by any German municipality, essentially a postage-stamp-sized slip of printed paper passing as currency.
The specific DeNG catalog suffix "d" indicates a color variant within the P7.7 series — brown ink distinguishing it from otherwise identical printings in the same sequence. These variant distinctions matter mainly to completionists; the notes themselves were interchangeable in daily use.
