This coin, by the way, has a "German sibling". Twenty years later the GDR (East G.) issued a 10 Mark coin that shows the same two figures. They are the "core scene" of the Soviet memorial in Berlin (Treptower Park); about 7,000 Red Army soldiers are buried there.

Venezuela, 1919, 5 Bolivares

On the reverse in the right upper field of the coat of arms there are two swords.

Venezuela had been minting coins like these in silver since 1873. There are many variations, and many of the variations have Simon Bolivar on the front. The design by Barre of the Simon Bolivar bust is made after a drawing by Carmelo Fernández.

These coins have taken on good numismatic value, especially for coins dated before 1925. After 1936 the composition changed from silver to nickel.

Silver (.900); 37.2 mm, 24.74 g; thickness: 2.25 mm, reeded edge

Swords...!!!

 

Dhofar Province in Oman

 

I've got several with swords and sabers, mostly from the Middle East. But this 2018 medal from South Korea came to mind because the sword seems to come out straight at you from the coin. It's the third (but my least favorite in terms of design) in the Chiwoo Cheonwang series.

At first, I couldn't see the swords - but then I saw it finally!
