without getting in "period issues" as i subscribe to the philosophy of the 
"current" middle ages (g)  ... perhaps the kingdom needs a "royal embosser" 
with the kingdom arms that would pass from crown to crown ... perhaps with a 
real "seal of state" for special occasions.  for the theatre / ritual mavins 
would give a new place to develop suitable transfer rituals ...

seem to remember seeing places that will make up the emossers custom from your 
camera ready art   alternately dosn't conceptually seem that hard to make a 
pair of "registered" dies (on a simple spring holder designed to keep them in 
alignment) and a mallet to whack them ...
