It could be Dresden if there was a letter D. But there isn't. Crossed swords were used in many cities in Saxony from the 1700s. Often with a letter corresponding to the first letter of the city. But here there is no letter for the city.
Have you already searched for the manufacturer of this can in another forum?

I think it is Johann Gottlob Pundselius in Schleiz, later in Wien.

Johann Gottlob Pundselius heiratet (II) 1800 als Witwer die Jfr. Friedeike Sophie Fischer.

Am 7.November 1810 stirbt sein ältester Sohn Karl Heinrich Wilhelm im 5. Jahre.
Am 17.November 1825 heiratet seine Tochter Christiane Henrielle Caroline Pundselius den Gold- und Silberarbeiter Heinrich August Grebner (Sohn des Christian Erdmann Grebner, Bürger, Gold- und Silberarbeiter in Schleiz). Er wird dabei als Johann Gottlob Pundselius, Gold- und Silberarbeiter zu Wien bezeichnet.
