Coat of Arms of Malta includes a Mural Crown
The term Mural crown (from Latin corona muralis) as used in Roman antiquity, was a golden crown, or a circle of gold intended to resemble a battlement, bestowed to a soldier who first climbed the wall of a besieged city or fortress to successfully place a standard of the attacking army.
The term is also used in heraldry to denote a crown modeled after the walls of a castle.
