What happens when a Knight or Royal Guard attacks a Pikeman?

A Knight attacking a Pikeman still loses a coin even if the Pikeman is unbolstered. A Royal Guard attacking a Pikeman takes the loss on the board itself; you cannot choose to remove a coin from its supply instead, as the Royal Guard's ability would normally allow.
