A plain cream banner at the top carries the legend 'NOTGELD' in dark red serif capitals, and a matching banner at the foot reads 'STADT PASING' in the same typeface.

Comments

Pasing was an independent Bavarian town until its forced incorporation into Munich in 1938 — a municipal annexation that erased it from the map entirely. This note predates that absorption by decades, issued during the Notgeld wave of 1917–1921 when hundreds of German municipalities printed their own small-denomination emergency scrip to relieve the chronic shortage of coins that wartime metal requisitioning had created.

At 35 × 28 mm, this is among the smallest Notgeld formats produced, consistent with the low face value. The Kidd and Grabowski references both catalogue it as a distinct variety within the Pasing series, suggesting multiple printings or paper differences across what was, administratively, a town of modest size.
