<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 6379190, member: 78949&quot;]IMO: interesting item as a riddle. It can&#039;t be Russian or East European because of the knight&#039;s helmet (or head) which was not used here. Also the coat of arms itself is untypical.</p><p>It seems that the Latin motto has different word order, though, is should be &quot;Virtus in Arduis&quot; (not &quot;In Vitrus Ardius&quot;) which translates as &quot;Achievement through hard work&quot; or &quot;Excellence through hardship&quot;, &quot;Virtue in perseverance&quot;, and has been used by quite a few schools in the English speaking world, promoting hard work as the way to success. I am no expert but the word order &quot;In Vitrus Ardius&quot; seems to change that meaning.&nbsp;&nbsp; On purpose or mistake?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
