Award of Arms

Achievement: Gold crown of four points.

How to draw it: This is a drawing of a four-pointed crown; you see three points if the crown is straight on, or all four if it's turned somewhat. The crown in medieval emblazons was very large: it went from one edge of the shield to the other. It was generally shown sitting on top of the shield.

Alternatives: No achievement need be shown.

Optional: If given at the same time as an armigerous Kingdom Order (e.g. Harp Argent), the shield may be encircled by a blue ribbon with the medallion of the Order dependent from it.
