Crown of Duke
Full achievement of Germano Catanzaro
Azure, upon a sea in base an anchor palewise Or entwined by a dolphin Argent; chapé ployé Gules, two fleurs de lis Or. Crest: Upon a helm befitting his degree issuant from a crown of Noble above the shield, with a wreath Or and Azure, a unicorn Argent, issuant from a crown of Duke. Mantling: Azure doubled Or. Motto: «Sat cito si sat bene».
Coat of arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a freehand finishing.
G0087: the coat of arms of Germano Catanzaro, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. «A sea in base», as I have blazoned it, specified in the original grant as «a wavy base», I have translated into Castilian as «un mar moviente de la punta». It should be noted that the tinctures of this «wavy» are not specified in the blazon. In the original painted representation of these arms, this sea appears Azure upon a field likewise Azure, with the crests of the waves heightened by an Argent highlight in the form of a circumflex accent «^». My interpretation follows the model of that original image, although I have emphasized the whole of the wave pattern slightly more, not merely the crests of the waves, so that it stands out more clearly against the Azure field.
