Denmark changes coat of arms

For the past 500 years, the previous royal coats of arms featured three crowns — a symbol of the Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, established by Denmark between 1397 and 1523. These crowns were also an important symbol for neighboring Sweden.

However, in the updated version, the crowns were removed. They were replaced with more prominent symbols: a polar bear and a ram. These symbols represent Greenland and the Faroe Islands, respectively.

Hello. This is part of the defense against the seizure of territory. The bear had to stand out so that it was clear whose territory this is. You know, there are [heads of state] in the world now who want to occupy foreign territory. So this is a form of defense, and then there's just the man with the baseball cap next to the bear.
