The Albanian Coat of Arms from 1914

Discovered by Petrit Latifi.

The new national coat of arms of Albania was recently completed by historian Professor Emil Doepler of Berlin. It consists of a princely mantle lined with ermine, adorned with the Albanian ten-bow crown. A ribbon bearing the motto of the House of Wied, “Fidelitate et veritate,” flutters above the upper edge of the mantle. A double-headed Albanian eagle, each carrying a bundle of lightning in each of its talons, hovers within the princely mantle. The eagle is surmounted by a heart-shaped shield, the natural Wied eagle, and surmounted by the national colors of Albania.
