Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or. Motto: «Prior tempore potior iure»

Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro. Lema: «Prior tempore potior iure»

Coat of arms of the RIAG interpreted with: a pointed base; the field illuminated in Argent; the chief illuminated in Sable; the motto illuminated in Argent with letters in Sable; the narrow cross illuminated in Gules; the 4 eight-pointed stars illuminated in Azure; the cross and the stars outlined in Sable; the elephant illuminated in Or and outlined of the field; the motto outlined in Sable, written in the same colour and illuminated in Argent; and the whole with a rough finish.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 113] writes «Paté, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos extremos se ensanchan un poco. Viene esta voz de la latina patula, cosa extendida, ó dilatada», and in this way uses the term «Cruz paté», instead of cruz patada, in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; páginas 60, 91, 92, 127 y 297]. In the blazon at escueladeheraldica.es/armorial-riag-pagina-1 the term «crus estrecha paté de gules» is also used, although I have preferred to use in this blazon the equivalent expression «una estrecha patada de gules».

Its Latin motto «Prior tempore potior iure» means that whoever comes first in time has more right than whoever comes after, and naturally refers to the concept of registration, since, in general, the person who registers a coat of arms first has more right to defend its ownership than the person who registers the same coat of arms after the first.

Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or. Motto: «Prior tempore potior iure»

Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro. Lema: «Prior tempore potior iure»

Coat of arms of the RIAG interpreted as follows: with a semicircular (round) base; the field in plain Argent enamel; the chief illuminated in Sable with its elephant illuminated in the same Sable; the narrow cross outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; the 4 stars outlined in Sable and illuminated in Azure; the motto illuminated in Argent, outlined and written in Sable; and the whole executed in parchment.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 277] simply calls «estrecha» the narrow cross and defines it as «una Cruz disminuida de la mitad de su anchura regular, y su forma es la de la figura ordinaria», that is, if the cross width is 1/3 of the shield base width, the narrow cross width is 1/6 of the shield base width. He also recounts that the origin of the narrow cross is attributed to Mathieu de Montmoranci who «mudando la Cruz blanca, y quatro Aguiletas, que traían sus predecesores, en la Cruz roxa con diez y seis, se llamó Cruz estrecha por algunos, porque habiendo de dar lugar á las diez y seis Aguiletas, fué preciso estrechar la Cruz; pues de lo contrario no habría bastante capacidad para las otras figuras, y por eso le quedó este nombre». The width I have used in this interpretation of the coat of arms of Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias is slightly less than 1/6 of the shield to balance its widening at the ends as it is a narrow patty cross.

Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or.

Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro.

Coat of arms of the Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias interpreted as follows: with a pointed base; the field in plain Argent metal; the chief illuminated in Sable; the elephant illuminated in Or and outlined of the field; the narrow patty cross illuminated in Gules and outlined in Sable; the eight-pointed stars illuminated in Azure and outlined of the field; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.

At the following RIAG address escueladeheraldica.es/armorial-riag-pagina-1 the blazon of this coat of arms can be found written as «De plata, crus estrecha paté de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; jefe de sable, con un elefante de oro pasante».

The most common star is the five-pointed one, therefore, when the number of points is not stated five are assumed, so, for example, [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 27, ilustración 6] on Guillaume in France writes «trae de plata, y una Faxa de azur, cargada de una Estrella de oro, y acompañada de tres mirletas de sable» and in his illustration number 6 the star has 5 points. But when the number is other than 5, it must be specified, for example, [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 92, ilustración 197] on Oschoven on the Rhine writes «trae de plata, y una Estrella de seis rayos de gules en Gefe, flanqueado en óvalo de sable» and it is for this reason that in the blazon included in this article, in addition to specifying the number 8, the term «rayos» has been used instead of its synonym «puntas».
