Pasing was an independent Bavarian city until 1938, when it was forcibly incorporated into Munich under the Nazi administrative consolidation of the greater Munich area. This note predates that annexation — issued as Notgeld during the inflationary crisis years of the early 1920s, when municipalities across Germany produced their own small-denomination emergency scrip because official coinage had effectively vanished from circulation.
At 35 × 27 mm, this is among the smallest Notgeld pieces produced, reflecting nothing more than paper economy during a period when even the cost of printing was a consideration.
