Additional Details:
A colorful illustration featuring Saint Nicholas in bishop's attire, holding a staff and a tray with three red apples inscribed 'GLÜCK' (Luck), 'SIEG' (Victory), and 'FRIEDEN' (Peace). Above him are two coats of arms: one with a crowned 'M A' monogram (likely Bavarian royalty) and another with a lion and Bavarian lozenges. The top banner reads 'II. BAYER. INF. REGT. KRONPRINZ' (2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment Crown Prince). The bottom text translates to 'Gift of luck for the fight and victory and long peace after the war.' The back features a field postmark dated February 22, 1915, confirming its World War I context and connection to the Bavarian military.
