The coat of arm of your country

[Lemminkäinen]

Finnish coat of arm figures a lion keeping straight western sword in his hand and trampling an eastern sword (scimitar).

First time the lion of the Finnish coat of arm exists in the beginning of the 14th century in the seal of Valdemar Mangnusson who was the duke of Finland.



In the 16th century it was already reached the current shape on the burial of Gustav Vasa.



During the Russian era the original figure was replaced by Russian symbols.



After 1917

I thought the lion was rocking on the sword for lols or something, and not trampling it.

The motifs of a lion and a sword are also included in the logo of Finnish police (which for some reason our Khan has on his shoulder):

Czech Republic has 2 variants of its coat of arms - larger and smaller ( basic):

at larger one you can see shields 3 historical lands of Czech country:
Bohemia (double tailed silver lion at red field)
Moravia (red-white chequered eagle at blue field)
Silesia (black eagle with silver perisionium at yellow field)

Smaller coat of arms is just the Bohemian lion.
The oldest picture of the lioncame from 1270s - as a coat of arms of the King of Bohemia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_o..._Komi_Republic: "The blazon has a gules field, featuring an or bird of prey with the face below corresponding with goddess Zarni An, and six unhorned elk heads. [...] A bird of prey in the traditional interpretation embodies the sun, authority and the upper world, while elk is associated with power, generosity and beauty. The combination of gules and or symbolizes sun, maternity and birth in the Komi folklore."

The coats of arms of many countries make them seem dark or orcish countries, because they include scary-looking eagles or something. The Komi designs make Komis seem like a lost Naturvolk who inhabit the deep forests of the north, where they live in peace with the bears and where they are watched over by the goddess Zarni An.
