Spain III

Posted in Las armas españolas by Fredrik on August 26, 2008

The current Coat of arms of Spain was approved by law in 1981, when the present established replaced the interim version which, in turn, replaced the official arms of Francoist Spain. The coat of arms appears in the Flag of Spain. The Spanish’ coat symbolizes in the shield, the old kingdoms of Spain; the crown, the Constitutional monarchy and the supporters, the Spanish geographic situation.

Quarterly: Gules, a three towered castle Or, masoned sable and ajouré azure, Argent, a lion rampant purpure(sometimes blazoned gules) crowned Or, langued and armed gules, Or, four pallets gules, Gules, a cross, saltire and orle of chains linked together Or, a centre point vert, enté en point; Argent, a pomegranate proper seeded gules, supported, sculpted and leafed in two leaves vert.

    Nice drawings! About the CoA of Spain, the official territorial coat of arms does not show the Order of the Golden Fleece, which is just a royal possesion, shown only in the kings and prince arms.
