The coat of arms of Aenopia, or the arms of Aenopia for short, is the official coat of arms of the Empire of Aenopia and the monarchy of Aenopia, presently Simon Reeve. The coat of arms of Aenopia is one of the most widely used national symbols of Aenopia, alongside the flag of Aenopia, and is regularly used to represent Aenopia internally and internationally. It appears on the flag of Aenopia, and is used by state institutions where applicable. The contemporary Aenopian coat of arms, featured on the flag of Aenopia, was adopted in 2021 in replacement of an earlier coat of arms initially adopted in 2020.

The official blazon of the arms is:

Azure, a fess Argent thereon a mullet of 14 points Vert in chief three fleur de lys Or

Description

The shield of arms shows a blue (azure) field with a white (argent) fess. In the center of the argent fess is a green (vert) star with fourteen sides. Early proposals featured an Atlantic Puffin in place of the star. The blue chief is charged with three fleur de lys, which is a symbol which was first portrayed on the original coat of arms. The shield is located on a console featuring a laurel wreath behind the console. The console used in the coat of arms was formerly used in the coat of arms of Madrid city from 1873 to 1874 and 1931 to 1939.

The crown on the top of the console is the royal crown of Aenopia, which represents both the monarchy and Aenopia as a sovereign state. Traditionally, the crown featured on the coat of arms was that of Monaco despite no correlation existing between Aenopia, Monaco or its monarchy.
