<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1865356, member: 39&quot;]Mönchengladbach is a city (population ~250,000) in the neighborhood, about 20 minutes from here. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What you see is a city view &quot;um 1856&quot;, i.e. what the inner city looked like around 1856. Not sure whether there was any particular event in that year, but I am pretty darn sure the medal is not <i>from</i> that year ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The CoA on the other side is from the &quot;old&quot; city of Mönchengladbach. On 1 Jan 1975 it merged with some neighboring places; since then it has had a different one. So I suppose that this piece was issued before the end of 1974.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
