Comment
Known as the Royal Arms, they can be traced back to the first arms of the kings of England and Scotland. Various alterations occurred over the years as the monarchs changed or other realms were acquired.
The accession of Queen Victoria ended the personal union between the United Kingdom and Hanover, as Salic law prevented women from ascending the Hanoverian throne. The Escutcheon of Hanover was removed and the Royal Arms remained the same. There was no attempt to alter the royal Arms to reflect later titles acquired by the British monarch such as Emperor of India. The harp of the United Kingdom of Ireland remained despite the partition in 1921, to represent Northern Ireland.
Interesting fact
The 50p coin commemorating the bicentenary of Queen Victoria's birth in 2019 is the first coin issued by Gibraltar to feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Imperial State Crown.
