Pasing was an independent municipality west of Munich until its forced incorporation into the city in 1938. This note belongs to the Notgeld wave of 1914–1923, when hundreds of German towns and cities issued their own emergency fractional currency to address the chronic small-change shortage that conventional banking infrastructure could not resolve.

At 36 × 28 mm, this is among the smallest formats in the entire Notgeld corpus — physically closer to a postage stamp than to a banknote, which creates predictable condition problems: folding damage along short edges and ink transfer from adjacent storage materials are the two most common issues encountered in surviving examples.
