Usage

This is a template for the orderly and simple illustration of countries, regions, cities or other entities – e.g. in lists and infoboxes – through their respective coats of arms.

The omission of all elements of achievement save the quintessential escutcheon is a conventional heraldic practice that ensures the distinctiveness of the motifs even at low resolutions (20px is default). This also provides a meaningful degree of uniformity.

I.e. e.g. {{Coat of arms|Belgium}} would produce the image instead of variants such as , or .

Example

*{{Coat of arms|Australia}}
*{{Coat of arms|Austria}}
*{{Coat of arms|Canada}}
*{{Coat of arms|Holy Roman Empire}}
*{{Coat of arms|Kingdom of France|text=none}}
*{{Coat of arms|Paris|text=''[[Fluctuat nec mergitur]]''}}
*{{Coat of arms|United Kingdom|size=45px}}
*{{Coat of arms|United States}}
