Um, it wasn't actually a rhetorical question.  Let me rephrase it: are
there any examples from the real world (moder nor period) of affixing
the depiction of a flag on the vertical outside face of a coronet, or
anything similar to that?  Regardless of whether it's allowed or not,
if there are no examples in reality, it may be an indication of
whether it's reasonable re-creation of anything.
