The Little Crest

The Small coat of arms of the Czech Republic forms a golden -tongued reinforced and double-tailed lion erect silver and golden crown of leaves from red. It is identical to the traditional Bohemian coat of arms.

In contrast to the Great State Coat of Arms, which is used for the actual representation of the state (eg on buildings, state boundaries ), the small coat of arms is used in particular in decisions, administrative acts or other acts of governmental or public institutions. It is therefore mainly on official stamps and documents (eg court judgments, high school diplomas ) to find.
