Crusader shields played a vital role during the medieval Crusades, spanning the 11th to 13th centuries. The “heater” shield, named for its iron-like shape, became a staple, crafted from wood, leather, and metal for durability. Right now, 2 oz The Crusader’s Shield Silver Stackables are available from BullionMax.

During the Crusades, shield designs changed to adapt to warfare. Early kite-shaped shields offered full-body protection for mounted knights but later evolved into smaller heater shields as armor improved. These lighter, maneuverable shields balanced mobility with defense, aligning with the dynamic nature of medieval combat.

Each 2 oz Crusader’s Shield Silver Stackable is carefully housed in a custom-shaped capsule for protection. These high-relief shields feature an antique polish, enhancing their medieval appeal. Designed with opposing convex and concave surfaces, they stack securely, making them ideal for collectors.

The shield’s design captures the essence of medieval Crusader equipment. The obverse showcases the iconic shield shape, with a knight in armor ready for battle. While Crusader shields often bore heraldic symbols like crosses, this design emphasizes the knight and the shield’s historic form.
