Coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) incorporated Serb, Croat and Slovenian symbols to represent the recognized nations of Yugoslavia at the time which were Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Bosniaks were considered Muslim Croats or Muslim Serbs, Macedonians were considered Serbs, and Montenegrins were considered Serbs, Albanians were not considered a nation of Yugoslavia either). The Serbian cross, the Croatian šahovnica, and the coat that represents Slovenia (first time created for this occasion - six-sided golden star above the silver ribbon).
Graphically, the coat is similar, with practically the same robe and two headed eagle.
The main difference is found on the shield, which is now divided on three parts: the shield of the Coat of Arms of Serbia (white cross with four firesteels on the red field), coat of arms of Croatia (red and white chequy) and the coat that represents Slovenia (first time created for this occasion - six-sided golden star above the silver ribbon). It should also be noted that the official Coat of Arms of Serbia is different then that of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The Crown/Shield/Robe are different from each other, As well the Serbian Coat of Arms also bears two golden fleurs-de-lys, While the CoA of Yugoslavia did not.
