I have before me a coin of Stralsund, minted in the fourteenth century, with the pheon for the principal type. |
The crest was a boar's head erased, azure, langued gules, pierced with a pheon. |
Query, When was the pheon, which it is supposed to be, first used as an heraldic device? |
Crest, in a mural coronet argent, a pheon sable, with a sprig of laurel issuing therefrom proper. |
