As requested by Dorado, here's the new thread for coins showing: - coats of arms - garters - shields, escutcheons, or seals - crowns (or helmets as part of the coat of arms) - crests - mantles, drapery, bunting, or banners - supporters - other stylized, formal, or heraldic design elements ----------------------------------------------------------- Examples:   Edited by pepactonius

Wow! This could get interesting! First, @IndianGold, that's some serious bling you've put up. Beautiful world coins! Love 'em! And ditto for the classics @pepactonius posted to start us off. Here is a reverse with the coat of arms of Lorraine in the late 16th century, complete with helmet, drapery and a pair of supporting eagles. From a heraldic viewpoint, it includes these elements in the lineage of Duke Charles III of Lorraine, or in his dynasty's claims/aspirations. starting at 12:00 and moving clockwise - cross of Jerusalem - vertical stripes of Aragon - back-to-back fish of Duchy of Bar - rampant lions of House of Anjou - fleur de lis House of Valois - horizontal bars of Hungary - surmounted in center with the diagonal band of three small eagles, House of Lorraine   Edited by tdziemia
