Does anyone know of any examples of American cities with arms that use a mural crown? It appears each country has their own system of mural crowns, and even England and Scotland have mural crowns uniquely their own. On further thought, do the Canadians use mural crowns?
Pittsburgh uses what I suspect might originally have been intended to be a mural crown but has morphed into a castle.
Looks like the City of St. Augustine and it’s county, St. Johns, both have mural crowns in their arms/seals.

St. Augustine Registry St. Johns Registry
For Canada, I found Quebec Cityhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/21/Armoiries_de_la_ville_de_Québec.svg/260px-Armoiries_de_la_ville_de_Québec.svg.png and Barriehttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Barrie,_Ontario_Coat_of_Arms.jpg.
Some Canadian cities certainly use them. Some examples from the Public Register:
Sudbury, Ontario

Hamilton, Ontario

Niagara Falls, Ontario
http://archive.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/ProjectPics/v020_20040033_arms_niagara.jpg
And at least one individual, a Mr. George Politis:

Similar to the Pittsburgh example, the Austin, Texas, coat of arms is surmounted by the Texas Capitol. I’ve wondered if this was the designer’s "take" on a mural crown.
Personally, I don’t generally favor the use of a mural crown by a local government in the U.S. because I really don’t think they fit with American heraldry, just as I disfavor the crest coronet. But c’est la vie.

However, you have to remember that both of those coats came from Spain, and presumably so did the mural coronets.

Is anyone else reminded of the trash compactor scene from Star Wars? Those poor lions.
The shield of Niagra Falls ONT is perfect!—you can almost see the water flowing over the falls and hear it crashing into the river below.

It is nice, nicer than that of the Regional Municipality of Niagara, the county-like jurisdiction that includes Niagara Falls:

But again, a mural crown is used.

Certainly. Even the registry for St. Augustine lists that "GRANT - Authorized by King Philip V, of Spain, on November 26, 1715." So much of the United States belonged to someone else for ages before the colonies declared independence and then went on to the idea of manifest destiny. Even our family was here before it was the USA.

...Actually it is the way the heraldic lions are sometimes compacted which I simply adore as one of the most charming peculiarities of armorial imagery.
