    It's a standard depiction of a trophy of arms with captive on either side. On yours I can't make out the cloak, but this is usually present along with armor, shields, spears and a helmet. A few more examples from Trier and one from Lyons with no cloak.

    Ah, your third coin looks like it. On mine, I just couldn't see past the motorcycle.

    It had a starting price of almost $20 and though rarer than the regular type with a standard, this one has pretty flaky surfaces-- some of the detail has actually fallen off the coin and more might, especially during shipping; which was another $13. So more than $30 into a coin with poor surfaces and a chance more of it will disintegrate.

    It has been relisted. I thought it looked pretty grotty. I would pay a fiver for novelty.

    Novelty can be important...that's mainly why I bought this today--
