Existing coat of arms which has been interpreted by me with the following characteristics: the mouth of the shield ends in a semicircular arch shape; the field has been enameled with flat tinctures of Gules color and Or metal; the cross patty and the pales are illuminated with Argent metal and Gules color; the whole has received a watercolor finish; and all within a Gules frame with 22 cross patties Argent, to which the name of its owner and blazon written in Sable and Gules tinctures is added.

In [Medél, R.; 1846; plate 35, illustration 7] can be seen his interpretation of the coat of arms of the Order of Mercy.

The 2^nd coat of arms of the Order of Mercy also illustrating this article is the same as the one included within the frame that appears in the 1^st illustration of this article.

Another way to write the blazon of the coat of arms of the Order of Mercy could be the following, which simplifies the description of the 2^nd quarter by saying that they are the arms of Aragon:

Party per fess: 1 Gules, a cross patty Argent; and 2 Or, four pallets Gules.

This coat of arms has been classified within the category called religious heraldry.

These already existing arms have been interpreted with: the mouth of the coat of arms rounded; its field has received an enamel of flat tincture style, of Gules color and Or metal; its cross patty and its 4 pales are illuminated; and the whole coat of arms has received a cloth-like finish.

The party per fess coat of arms of the Royal and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of Captives is the fusion of 2 gifts: the cross patty that was donated to the Order by Bishop Berenguer de Palou on the day of its foundation and the coat of arms of Aragon that King James I of Aragon, the Conqueror, also present at the ceremony, on August 10, 1218, gave to the Order as a symbol of support for the redemptive work of Peter Nolasco.
