| Obverse description | A raised solid line forms the rim, with the circular legend 'STADT MÜNCHEN' arranged peripherally around the central device. At the center of the field stands the Münchner Kindl, the traditional heraldic child figure of Munich, depicted facing forward in a monk's habit with arms outstretched to either side in a welcoming posture. A circular hole is punched through the lower portion of the flan, interrupting the field below the figure. The design is executed in a simple, utilitarian relief consistent with wartime notgeld production. |
