Coat of arms of Switzerland
Details
Escutcheon Gules, argent greek cross
The coat of arms of Switzerland shows the same white cross as the flag of Switzerland, but on a red shield. The appearance of the coat of arms or shield varies greatly, but there has been a federal resolution including a drawing of the coat of arms.
Like the Swiss flag, the coat of arms is used on many items such as Swiss francs, Swiss car number plates, and Swiss-branded exports such as Swiss Army knives.
