{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Crusader shields were a crucial part of medieval warfare during the 11th to 13th centuries, especially during the Crusades. The “heater” shield, named for its resemblance to the base of a flat iron, was one of the most iconic designs. Made from wood, leather, and reinforced with metal, these shields balanced protection and practicality. Today, 2 oz The Crusaders Shield Silver Stackables are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2 oz Crusaders Shield Silver Stackable is packaged in a custom-shaped capsule for added protection. Featuring a high-relief design and antique finish, these shields have a realistic, medieval appearance. The unique convex and concave fields make these shields stack securely, adding both style and practicality for collectors.
Designs
The Crusaders Shield Silver Stackable’s design highlights its historical significance. On the obverse, youll see a knight in armor standing ready with a sword. While real Crusader shields often featured heraldic symbols, like the red cross associated with the Templar order, this design focuses on the knights role and the shields shape.
History
The design of Crusader shields evolved to match the needs of knights in battle. Earlier shields were larger and kite-shaped, offering full-body coverage for mounted warriors. Over time, as armor advanced and combat tactics changed, shields became smaller and easier to maneuver, giving rise to the well-known heater shape.
