I’d go with the City of Toledo, or with an iron or steel breast plate. Most of Modern Spain’s history has been about its reconquest from the Moors and its close relationship with the Holy See. Toledo was a center of Catholic Activities and the breast plates from the period mostly have crosses on them.
