The difference is, a sunflower is a real thing, and the only "paladins" are radicals, and they have AK-47s, not swords, although there may have been paladins at one time, certainly not the same fantasy paladins as imagined by some people, they would more likely have looked like the average knight of the same nearby lord, minus his respective decorations. Which would probably look something like what I posted, an unmarked knight, wearing platemail.
Besides, the church wasn't so well funded as one might imagine in those times, and I doubt even nobility would have worn armors made of silver or gold or any other "precious" metals unless they didn't actually intend to enter combat in it, because those tend to be softer metals, not well suited for weapons or armor. Most armor and weapons were made of iron, and of steel, depending on which was more abundant or affordable at the time.
