�Gruss aus M�nchen�
(Greetings from Munich)
Created as the coat-of-arms or archival seal of Munich in 1239, the centrally depicted M�nchner Kindl (Munich Child) has evolved from a hooded monk standing in front of Munich�s gate to a charming child and symbol of the city. Side images include the twin towers of the city�s Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), the Munich Rathaus (City Hall), the world-famous Hofbr�uhaus, and the Karlstor city gate.
Some examples marked �Gbr. G/N� (Goldschmidt Brothers, a Nuremberg finishing shop and distributor).
