One and All key-fob – a rectangular keyfob depicting the Duchy of Cornwall bezant shield and the Cornish motto “one and all” (onen hag oll) mounted on a black leather fob with round split key-ring.
The coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall is a Crusader shield on which are displayed 15 golden
bezants in the shape of a triangle with the motto One and All. The story of the 15 bezants occurred
during the Crusades when the Duke of Cornwall was captured by the Saracens. A ransom of 15 bezants (bezants being gold coins named after Byzantium) was demanded. The people of Cornwall
raised the money for the ransom. It was paid and the Duke was set free. The inhabitants had all helped
together, one and all, to raise the money.
