The National Coat of Arms of Denmark consists of three crowned blue lions accompanied by nine red hearts, all in a golden shield. The national coat of arms was originally the coat of arms of the royal family but by time it became associated with the Danish territory. The oldest known depiction of the insignia dates from a seal used by King Canute VI c. 1194.<ref>Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_heraldry</ref> | The National Coat of Arms of Denmark consists of three crowned blue lions accompanied by nine red hearts, all in a golden shield.
