	20:03, 25 November 2019	538 × 528 (55 KB)	TakisA1	The law is available in low quality scan. The actual document's design is closer to this one. Plus many public websites have the exact CoA as this one.

	09:19, 6 February 2019	377 × 370 (61 KB)	Sarah fides	General glitches fixed (white specs on bottom of laurel branches caused by abrupt vector directions), cross set to width shown in the official law regulating the coat of arms, simplified elements (deleted duplicates used to colour-in certain elements)
