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.
