Albania Coat of arms
The coat of arms of Albania is an adaptation of the Flag of Albania. It is based on the seal of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg. The emblem above the head of the two-headed eagle is the helmet of Skanderbeg, surmounted with billy goats' horns.
The emblem has dimensions of 1:1.5. It is sometimes considered to violate the rule of tincture, because in English and French heraldry, sable (black) is considered a colour, whereas elsewhere it is often considered a fur.[citation needed]
Armiger Republic of Albania
Escutcheon Gules, a two-headed eagle Sable; in chief the helmet of Skanderbeg Or.
