Template:Coat of arms

 Missing data

Description

1341 gathering of prince-electors from the constituent states of the Holy Roman Empire.

This template enables the systematic illustration of countries, regions, cities or other entities – i.e. in lists – by showing their respective coats of arms. The use of heraldry as a means to identify geographical entities is a centuries-old tradition.

Please note: Only the escutcheon is included (with the possible addition of surmounting crowns for monarchies or mural crowns for cities etc.). This principle ensures tidiness and visibility even at a low resolution, and satisfies the rules of heraldry.
