The coat of arms of the Royal Family of the Kingdom is that of the House of Cristosomi-Baldovini. The creation of the new coat of arms and the house was thought of after the King assessed the non-playfulness of the previous coat of arms, derived from three existing and truly noble families. On 17 December 2023 the King proclaimed the creation of the new Royal Coat of Arms, based on the standards of Landopian heraldry. Below is the blazon of the coat of arms:
