Yes, I thought the same thing!

Well I racked my brain for 15 minutes and could not think of
the answer. Decided trying to find the page online would be
easier then going through boxes of comics so here it is:

http://neamar.fr/Res/DUCK/Story-The%20Crown%20Of%20The%20Crusader%20Kings

I will freely admit some of the trophies are obvious. The goose egg
nugget, the candy striped ruby, etc...

But some are so generic I would not even begin where to guess like the
jar full of gold coins. One or two are so crudely drawn in the back
ground I can barely tell what it is (looks like an armored knight's
helmet, i think, for example).

But that eagle, ?hawk?, is so predominant I would be shocked to find
out it had no meaning. By 2001, I cannot imagine Rosa drawing anything
that significant that was not referenced in an earlier story...

So color me curious. I have no idea and now want to find out also.

Hi !

In the latest issue of Swedish Kalle Anka there is a story (very good story actually) where the Beagle boys is alone in the money bin. One of the scenes is in a memory room with different paintings on the wall. They depict scenes where the money bin cracks. One is when the water that it's filled with freese and cracks it. Another is from the giant robot robbers. Both by Barks.

But then the third one is where Magica has transformed the money bin to gold and it collapses because of this. It also looks like Barks but I think that I would have remembered the story if that was the case.
Does anyone know what story this is ?

The jewel-encrusted falcon that Donald is dusting in Crown of the Crusader Kings is indeed The Maltese Falcon of Dashiell Hammett's novel and the 1941 film adaptation. In the film, the falcon turned out to be a fake copy, but here we see what it should have looked like when the black enamel was removed. Nice inside joke, or maybe a reference to the greatest Uncle Scrooge story never told...;)
?
Incidently, I find it odd that the Sydney Greenstreet character thought all he needed to do was scrape the enamel away with a common pen knife - wouldn't that knife have done damaged to the gold and jewels? Scrape,scrape,scrape.
?
Film/Television references appear often in Don Rosa stories. Citizen Kane, Frank Capra movies, Jimmy Stewart westerns, even kid shows like Marvin Monkey and Talespin. No video games, though...:) You'd think Don would sneak in a Pac-Man or Donkey Kong reference - or the Duck Tales video game, since that appears to exist there as an unauthorized bio of Scrooge.

This may refer to "Obsession" (D/D 2006-019), written by Byron Erickson
and drawn by Daan Jippes - a story which contains many Barks references
itself.

Hello Mr. Rosa. I am a huge fan of you. I want to be even later cartoonists.
Your Character style is very well. I hope you still draw more comics.
