Well? The second is the Seal of the Pauperes Commilitones Christii Templii Solomonicii, vulgarly known as Knights Templar. The in-game one only misses the second knight, that is all.

the second knight is in there, just well worn. NV took it out for his one.

This is good to know for Thief geeks who don't know this already, plus it draws attention to NV's work, the Knights Templar, and further insight into part of the devs' inspiration for the Hammers. Otherwise, no...nothing deep intended.:thumb:
One could entertain the question of what such a coin is doing in Madame Volari's bedroom. Scandal? Coincidence? Dev's intention? Dev's random choice? Who cares? Heh heh.
Other coins, such as the ones initially used for the Watchman's Grave but found in later missions, have the yin/yang symbol, and share the same texture file as for the Serpentyle Torc. The coins seen in the briefing for Framed all have the same face, which I haven't been able to make out, if it ever was something to begin with. There are the spinning coins in the TDP/Gold Intro movie, with only the edges seen, and the words inscribed have a connection to the games. The face of all the coins found in stacks resembles the back end of a bullet casing, only the colors varied, with the primer cap in the center and little "letters" inscribed around it on the rim. :p

In the left coin in the first photo, you can see the legs and hips of the second knight. If you take a close look at the back of the horse immediately behind the remaining rider, you see them clearly.
Good call there.
