  2. Part of the Medici family's family crest. The Medicis were famous money-lenders of the Renaissance, which is what pawnbrokers are.

  3. In the High Middle ages the Italian house of Lombardy had a chain of pawn shops. The House of Lombary's emblem was three golden balls  They placed them outside the shops so you would know who you are dealing with and it evolved into the standard decoration for all pawn shops.
