They are the coat of arms of Malmö which were originally awarded when Malmo was part of Denmark, rather than Sweden as it is today. This website tells us that “The coat of arms of the City of Malmö was donated to the city by Eric of Pomerania, King of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in 1437. It consisted of a detail, a griffin’s head, of the coat of arms of King Eric’s home duchy of Pomerania, a red crowned griffin on a silver background.”

Wikipedia informs us that “Malmö in the southernmost province of Scania, is Sweden's third largest city by population after Stockholm and Gothenburg, and is one of the largest cities in Scandinavia.”
