The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
The Royal Arms we see today have evolved over nine centuries, since Richard the Lionheart chose three lions to represent England. This symbol on the King's shield would immediately identify him in the midst of others.
The full version of the Royal Coat of Arms is now used only by the Queen in her capacity as the Sovereign.
In the version below, which is used by the British Government and consequently as the Official Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the crown is shown resting directly on the shield without the helm, crest or mantling (as in the Travel Bug 'Coat of Arms').
The coat features both the motto of British Monarchs:
Dieu et mon droit
(God and my right)
and the motto of the Order of the Garter:
Honi soit qui mal y pense
(‘Evil to him who evil thinks’)
On the left, the shield is supported by the English Lion. On the right it is supported by the Unicorn of Scotland.
(The unicorn is chained because in mediaeval times a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast (only a virgin could tame a unicorn)
