Cromwell Half crown
Hi JDF6574. I tend to agree that the original caption is better. Perhaps "less is more" generally in a capton. I see that the image is also (surprisigly) used as the prime example in Half crown (British coin), although without any translation. I wonder should the Cromwell article give details of any other coins that were struck by him? Mention might also be made of the Laurel wreath which makes him look more like a Roman Emperor. What do you think? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:09, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I quite agree. I'll have a look around. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You might find the this site interesting. Although obviously a commercial concern, it has some useful information about coin manufacture in the time of Cromwell and gives a very clear indication of the range of coins struck. I see also that DE-Wiki has this image, also noting his Roman Toga, although it's unfortunate that the coin bears a catalogue number. Perhaps a new sub-section on the Article might be warranted.

Palaiologos CoA
Please don't add an unverified image you found on the web as the "true" coat of arms of the Palaiologoi. The particular image is most probably pseudo-historical, especially since the image's creator explicitly calls it an "attributed arms", i.e. a device attributed in later times. It uses the elements found in Byzantine heraldry, but in a fashion that is not attested for the Byzantine court: a) the form of the eagle is distinctly Germanic and not of the type used in the 14th-century Balkans (cf. ,  or, b) there is no recorded instance where the imperial flag was placed in an escutcheon on the eagle's breast, while only the family's cypher is documented in this position. Please be advised that the necessity of using reliable sources to support one's edits applies to images as well. Plus, the use you made of this image does not comply with WP:FAIRUSE.
