Coat of arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a freehand finishing.

Coat of arms of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II emblazoned by me. Saint Edward Crown, the fundamental piece used in the anointing ceremony of British monarchs, was reconstructed in 1661 after the Restoration. This crown is distinguished by its four depressed or downward-curving arches, three visible, which rise from a circular base decorated with four cross patty, three visible, alternating with four fleurs de lis, two visible. Like the Tudor, its arches, adorned with pearls, converge at the center to support an orb, a cross on a world. The crown's base is lined with ermine, and the cap or inner lining is traditionally represented in Purpure. It is the heaviest piece among the Crown Jewels and its use is reserved exclusively for the culminating moment of the coronation. The main visual difference between Saint Edward Crown and the Tudor Crown lies in their arches: Saint Edward Crown features depressed arches or downward curves, and its inner cap is typically represented in Purpure. Conversely, the Tudor Crown features ascending or semi-circular arches, and its inner cap is colored Gules.

The American College of Heraldry

The lion rampant Or with baton of The American College of Heraldry

It was founded in New Orleans, state of Louisiana, in the year 1972 and, subsequently, was legally structured as a non-profit association in the state of Alabama.

The aim of the «College» is to contribute to the orderly development of the American heraldic tradition, whose origins go back to and are the same as those of the United States of America, and to meet the heraldic needs of its citizens.

The American College of Heraldry is governed by its Board of Directors, which elects both the directors of the «College» and its Advisory Council.

There are different ways of belonging to The American College of Heraldry, from members distinguished by their recognised prestige in the field of heraldry or by their contribution to heraldry from academic institutions to other persons interested in heraldry and, even, young associate members who are minors.

The address of its website is AmericanCollegeOfHeraldry.org, where the blazon of its arms is written as «Sable, a lion rampant, crowned with an ancient coronet, holding in the dexter paw a baton fleury Or, armed and langued Gules».

Quarterly Azure and Gules; overall a leopard face, crowned Or, langued Gules, within a tressure flory Or.

Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro.

Interpretation I have made: as a pointed shield; with its quarters enamelled in plain Azure and Gules; its tressure flory and its leopard face outlined in Sable, shaded and illuminated in Or with the tongue in Gules; and the whole with a beaten metal finish.

In its own publication [The Heraldry Society; 2013; página 6] the blazon is written as «Quarterly Azure and Gules a Lion's Face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a Tressure flory on the outer edge of the same» where:

  • they specify the crown as «Ancient Crown»,
  • they use the term «flory» ~ «fleury»,
  • they assume the tongue is Gules,
  • in some interpretations they assume the eyes are Sable, one would say enkindled Sable, initially I also illuminated the eyes in Sable, but currently I paint them in Or as I believe they should be, and
  • finally for the «trechor» ~ «tressure» they clarify it is on the outer edge «on the outer edge» and that its tincture is «of the same» ~ «de lo mismo» as the leopard face, that is the metal Or.
