Thinking of the Crusades reminds me of the seal of the city of Milan, Italy. It commemorates the Crusades and the Christian triumph. On the left side of the circle is a red Christian cross. On the right side of the circle is a serpent eating a Muslim.

Now THAT would be an interesting stamp! In fact, Portugal put out a bunch like that back in the 1960s and 1970s, before the communist coup in '75. I've found some interesting stamps commemorating victories of Western men/countries over Islamic invaders from Spain, Portugal, Greece, Malta, and Croatia, but none from Italy curiously.
