| Opschrift voorzijde | 2 Pf |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse mirrors the obverse layout, with the large '2 Pf' denomination in bold letterpress type set against a fine guilloche background in the same salmon-brown tone on cream paper. A row of small decorative typographic ornaments runs along the upper and lower margins, providing the only embellishment on an otherwise plain face. The overall design is spare and functional, typical of low-denomination Notgeld emergency issues. |

| Opmerkingen |
Passau's wartime Kleingeldersatz notes were issued to address the acute small-coin shortage that gripped German municipalities from 1916 onward, as the Reichsbank's metal stocks were diverted to the war effort. City-issued paper Pfennig denominations of this kind were produced in enormous variety — virtually every German town of any size printed its own — but the square format seen in some Passau issues is among the more distinctive local choices, a practical concession to fitting minimal text onto minimal paper.
Notgeld of this denomination was rarely saved at the time; most were spent and destroyed quickly, which works in favor of surviving specimens today.
