That cloak is in a museum in Braunschweig, NI - here are two (old, grayscale) pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p>(The Cloak) <a href="http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI04217g03a.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI04217g03a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI04217g03a.jpg</a></p><p>(Detail: Lion) <a href="http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI05033e03a.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI05033e03a.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/MI05033e03a.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now that poor bird on the other side is the German federal eagle which is depicted on all collector coins. However, its style is always adapted to the overall design of an issue. Sometimes the result is fine, sometimes ... ah well.&nbsp; All in all, I like the &quot;Henricus&quot; coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Barbarossa piece is nice too. That &quot;Pour le mérite&quot; coin, well, I am not exactly fond of that - too much text. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
