In anticipation of our new 2017 KOTCT medal design, what coins do you have with a "Knightly" image ? Here is one of my favorites with a great 1935 Art Deco reverse for Saint George, his trusty steed, and the dragon too ....

A similar design on a Russian 50 Kopek coin.

The 1946 "John the Blind" commemorative from Luxembourg is quite 'Knightly" as well...

Knights are pretty common on Lithuanian coins.

Nancy, I was thinking of posting one of those too.
I didn't have time this morning though.
Have to find another one now.

Not a great pic.
This is a 1951 Crown from Great Britain.

A 'knightly" example indeed is this 1977 Commemorative 100 schilling from Austria...

Quite "Knightly" looking for 1991....

Call me old-school, but I prefer coins made by knights, for knights, with "real knights" depicted on them.

A favourite has got to be the silver deniers of the "crusader state" Principality of Antioch, depicting the knight-prince Bohemund IV in chain-mail armour with the classic crusader nose-guard helmet:

Gibraltar 1992 Two Pounds! One of my favorites! Different versions in the KOTCT Pet Set and I like them all.
