Summary

DescriptionCoat of arms of the European Union.svg	English: A coat of arms of the European Union that has not been adopted, composed of 28 quarterings, each representing a member state.

Examples include the arms of the mediaeval Kalmar Union, the Swedo-Norwegian union (1814–1905), the United Kingdom (1707–present), the Holy Roman Empire (1765), Serbia and Montenegro (1993-2006), the present Kingdom of Spain etc. The number of possible quarterings is unlimited.
