Comments

Pasing was an independent Bavarian municipality — it wasn't absorbed into Munich until 1938 — and like hundreds of German towns in 1918, it issued its own small-denomination emergency currency when coin metal was diverted to the war effort. These Kleingeldscheine were a purely local stopgap, redeemable in theory but often simply spent until they disintegrated.

At 41 × 36 mm, this is among the smallest notgeld formats produced, which accelerated wear considerably. Intact examples without serious edge fraying are genuinely uncommon.
