Croatian Coat of Arms with Checkerboard Pattern

A national symbol, the Croatian Coat of Arms, features a distinctive red and white checkerboard shield at its center. Above it rests a crown composed of five smaller historical shields, each representing different regions of Croatia. These include emblems such as a golden star and crescent, red stripes, golden lion heads, a golden goat, and a black marten.
