A coat of arms, historically, was associated with a particular individual and his descendants, not a surname. There are many, many families with the surname Hansen. There is no coat of arms that belongs to all of them.

Of course, you should have no trouble finding an on-line merchant who will gladly sell you a bogus coat of arms that he says belongs to your surname.

Besides, Hansen is a Scandinavian name--it simply means "son of Hans" (Hans is short for Johan). Scandinavian families used patronyms, rather than surnames, until relatively recently. For instance, Magnus Hansen may have been the son of Hans Petersen, who was the son of Peter Neilsen, and so on. It was only when they switched to using surnames that the family "stuck" with the Hansen surname. That probably happened about 150 years ago, long after a coat of arms would have had any real significance.
