Comments

Pasing was still an independent municipality in 1921, not yet absorbed into Munich — that annexation came in 1938. This note is therefore a product of a city that no longer exists, issued under emergency small-change conditions that affected nearly every German town during the early Weimar period when coin metal was hoarded and official currency was in chronic short supply.

Meindldruck printed locally, which was common for Notgeld of this kind — municipal authorities typically contracted whoever was nearest and cheapest.
