Don Rosa's "Crown of the Crusader Kings"

[Matt Yaklin]

Well I racked my brain for 15 minutes and could not think of
the answer. Decided trying to find the page online would be
easier then going through boxes of comics so here it is:

http://neamar.fr/Res/DUCK/Story-The%20Crown%20Of%20The%20Crusader%20Kings

I will freely admit some of the trophies are obvious. The goose egg
nugget, the candy striped ruby, etc...

But some are so generic I would not even begin where to guess like the
jar full of gold coins. One or two are so crudely drawn in the back
ground I can barely tell what it is (looks like an armored knight's
helmet, i think, for example).

But that eagle, ?hawk?, is so predominant I would be shocked to find
out it had no meaning. By 2001, I cannot imagine Rosa drawing anything
that significant that was not referenced in an earlier story...

So color me curious. I have no idea and now want to find out also.
