Bürgermeister:' and a serial number. The lower half presents a bold silhouette vignette of the Pasing town skyline with church steeple and rooftops, above the legend 'KRIEGSNOTGELD' in a green bottom banner. |

Pasing was still an independent municipality when this note was issued — it wouldn't be absorbed into Greater Munich until 1938. Like most German municipal Kleingeld of the 1918 period, it exists because the wartime metal shortage had effectively killed small-denomination coinage, forcing towns of all sizes to print their own substitute currency.
Meindl was a local printer, and the short production chain — municipality to neighborhood press to circulation — shows. These notes rarely traveled far.
