a design of six hills ("sechsberg") can also be found in swiss and italian heraldry. in medieval german heraldry, mounts could have ten or more tops. mounts with more than three tops are blazoned as a "mount of n coupeaux", e.g. german "sechsberg" would be a "mount of six coupeaux", german "zehnberg" as a "mount of ten coupeaux". a mount with more than six tops can also be blazoned as "schroffen" in german heraldry.
