Coat of arms of the Netherlands

The coat of arms of the Netherlands ( Grote Rijkswapen - Large national coat of arms ) is the coat of arms of the monarch Willem- Alexander.

Description

In the blue escutcheon a golden crowned golden lion rotbewehrter and langued, which holds a bunch of seven arrows in his right hand a sword and in his left hand. These seven arrows stand for the seven provinces of the Union of Utrecht. The shield is studded with gold shingles.

The shield bears the royal crown and it is held by two golden lions as rotbewehrten and rotgezungten plate holder, standing on a blue tape, which carries the French motto in golden letters:

This compilation is surrounded by a royal mantle, which forms at the top of a gazebo. This pavilion retransmits the royal crown.

The Royal Decree is held that a male heir to the throne can replace the crown on the shield with a helmet Nassau.

History

The coat of arms was introduced by decree of King William I of August 24, 1815 at the founding of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

It is a combination of the coat of arms of Orange- Nassau and the Netherlands.

The Government of the Netherlands uses a smaller version without the mantle and the pavilion - sometimes even only the shield with the crown being used. The components of the coat of arms have been written by Queen Wilhelmina in a decree dated 10 July 1907, and confirmed by Queen Juliana in a decree of 23 April 1980.
