| Obverse description | Printed in teal and brown on cream paper, this small Notgeld note is dominated by a central circular vignette with a sawtooth inner border enclosing the large brown numeral '2' against a plain ground. A ribbon banner across the upper portion carries the inscription 'NOTGELD' in brown letterpress capitals, while a rectangular panel at the base bears the two-line issuer legend 'STADT PASING' in bold brown letters. The teal underprint forms a hatched border pattern around the entire face. |

Pasing was an independent Bavarian municipality until its incorporation into Munich in 1938. This 2 Pfennig piece belongs to the wave of Kleingeldersatz — small-denomination emergency money — that flooded German municipal circulation during the First World War and its aftermath, when coinage metals were requisitioned and official small change effectively disappeared from everyday commerce.
At under three centimeters across, these notes were notorious for being lost, torn, or simply worn to illegibility within weeks. Survivors in any readable state are proportionally scarce relative to original print runs.
