<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 7941804, member: 44106&quot;]In terms of (late) medieval armour, my favourite coin showing this in my collection has always been this kneeling knight in full armour with mace and shield from my ancestral land, East Friesland (Ostfriesland) in northwestern Germany. It&#039;s much later than the crusader coinage in this thread, but I think it&#039;s still pretty cool and the most detailed I have seen. The harpiye on the shield is one of the East-Frisian symbols used on their coinage, which is pretty apt given that it is a wind-spirit, and East Friesland is a pretty flat and windy place!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edzard, Christoph &amp; Johann, 1540-1566. Reichstaler c.1563/66</p><p>Emden mint, mintmaster Dirk Iden Kruitkremer (crossed clover &amp; axe mintmark above the knight&#039;s head on the obverse).
