The coats of arms of Iceland date back to the 15th century, with the first known arms being used in 1541, featuring a blue shield with a silver cross, symbolizing Christianity. The current coat of arms, adopted in 1903, depicts a shield featuring a stylized image of a dragon, representing the country's volcanic landscape, supported by four national symbols: a giant, an eagle, a bull, and a griffin. These figures represent Iceland's history, nature, and folklore, reflecting the island's cultural heritage. The coat of arms serves as a national emblem, representing Icelandic identity and pride.
