The Royal Coat of Arms is the official coat of arms of Great Nortend and the heraldic device used by the King of Nortend, Cardoby and Hambria. It is a form of arms of dominion, rather than the arms of the ruling house which are used by the members of the Royal family. It is blazoned:

Shield: Gules a Lion rampant regardant Or armed and langued azure within a bordure charged with oak-leaves and acorns Or. Supporters: dexter, a lion Or armed and langued azure royally crowned proper; sinister a lion Or regardant armed and langued azure royally crowned proper.

Crest: upon the Royal helm the royal crown Proper.

Motto: Magnus Dominus mecum sit.

The coat of arms is also the official coat of arms of His Majesty's Government, and is used frequently by the Foreign Office, the Exchequer, the Treasury and the Clerk's Department. A simplified form removing the mantling, helm and crowns for the lions is sometimes used for Parliamentary purposes.

The government emblem is the shield or escutcheon of the Royal Arms, minus the oak-leaf bordure, encircled with an ovular blue circlet and crowned, and can be seen to the left. The motto on the circlet is the same as in the Royal Arms. The Parliamentary emblem is used by Parliament, and features a double warded key with the motto, 'Quoniam filii sactorum sumus', taken from the Book of Tobias, meaning, 'For we are the sons of angels'.

These emblems are used by various government departments, boards and ministries and parliamentary committees, officers and the like respectively as a more informal emblem than the official Royal Coat of Arms, the use of which is granted specially by royal warrant.
