I collect some 19th century German steins....so this medal caught my eye.....notice the Munich Child with stein on the left facing shield. A great classy and balanced design I think. ⭐️🍺

Very cool... Love the design and cameo look of Hauser 576. And there are steins too....Munich child on one and a Barmaid on the other. Both steins could be Mettlach. The barmaid stein is looks to be a 1/2 L PUG on a widely utilized Mettlach stein blank for several different PUGs. (Print Under Glaze). Not sure if the Munich child is 1/2 L or not but It looks smaller in the image and is a different blank... Could be 4/10 and there could be a capacity mark on the side near the top just shy of where the pewter lid meets the top of the stein.
Well done.

@coinkat you sir also have some Mettlach knowledge, well done. Though it’s actually a 1/4 L size...here’s its lid decoration, one of my favorites.
The Barmaid PUG likely has the 1909 Mettlack stein blank number on the bottom... There is another one used for 1/2 L too and I am drawing a blank...1526?
Do you collect other German beer related tins? I ask mainly because I rarely see them. Just curious if you look for any beer advertising/serving trays? Earlier ones... Pre prohibition can be very difficult to find in nice shape.. Even ones from the 1930s-40s are not easy in real lean shape.
