The National coat of arms of Lithuania is a mounted armoured knight holding a sword and shield, known as Vytis (pronounced ['vîːtɪs]). Since the early 15th century, it has been Lithuania's official coat of arms and is one of the oldest European coats of arms. The coat of arms features a red field with a white (silver) armoured knight on a white (silver) horse holding in his right hand a white (silver) sword above his head.[1]
The present coats of arms of Lithuania are authorized by the President of Lithuania with suggestions by Lithuanian Heraldry Commission (Lietuvos heraldikos komisija), a heraldic authority appointed by presidential decrees. The Lithuanian Heraldry Commission also established regulations on Lithuanian coats of arms.[2]
The coats of arms of Lithuania are presented below.
