Either way, the sword the Vale king used probably isn't Crocea Mors. Why does it have Vacuo's color scheme, when everyone else wielded a weapon the same color as them? ...So, besides the shape being different, there's also the color scheme. Jaune said his great-great grandfather used it to fight in The War......it was never said the sword was specifically from Vale. It could've always been of foreign origins. He-Man wouldn't be the first leader to use foreign weaponry, in fiction nor real life.

Vacuo's emblem being swords could be a coincidence, since I don't really see, at the moment, how the other kingdoms' emblems could align with their Relics, especially if the Relics can change form. Mmm....A sword, a pair of axes, a spear, and what I think is a shield.....Those, are the emblems of each Kingdom. He-Man's sword, a Vacuan sword, like Vacuo's emblem...

So, what if, the relics are legendary weapons? If we assume Relics=Powers, then what if the physical form they appear in, is as those weapons? When Qrow mentioned the 4 powers they looked like energy balls, but he was talking about the powers specifically, and we can't assume the powers (in physical form) look literally like that.

There's no reason to assume the relics can change form. And Vacuo's emblem being swords is only coincidental to an extent: It's 3 swords, with what look like wings. The design is completely different from the sword He-Man used.

So sure, they are all swords, but that's it. By the same principle, the other relics are not 100% like their Kingdoms's emblems, but still within the same family.
