| Obverse description | Printed in blue and black on a pale grey guilloche underprint, the obverse is enclosed within a blue rectangular border and carries the bold Gothic-script heading 'NOTGELD DER STADT PASING' at the top, beneath which a Fraktur-script validity clause reads 'Giltig für den Verkehr innerhalb der Stadtgemeinde Pasing bis zum 15. September 1921 / DER STADTRAT', accompanied by a manuscript facsimile signature and the title 'rechtsk. 1. Bürgermeister'.

| Comments |
Pasing was an independent Bavarian municipality until its forced incorporation into Munich in 1938, and this 1921 Notgeld issue reflects that civic autonomy at a moment of acute monetary stress. The early Weimar inflation had so drained small-denomination coinage from circulation that thousands of German towns and cities printed their own emergency pfennig notes — Pasing among them. Meindl-Druck was a local press, which was typical for these hyper-local issues: the municipality printed what it needed, where it could.
The 89 × 63 mm format places it among the smaller Kleingeldscheine of the period, practical for everyday retail transactions when Reichsbank coinage had effectively vanished from tills.
