Slovene coat of arms

The Slovenian coat of arms consists of a red bordered blue shield on which there is a stylised white mount Triglav. Under Triglav there are two bending lines that represent the sea and rivers, and above Triglav there are three golden, six-pointed stars forming a triangle. The stars are taken from the coat of arms of the counts of Celje. Image File history File links Coat_of_Arms_of_Slovenia. ... Image File history File links Coat_of_Arms_of_Slovenia. ...
