Iceland has historically had various distinct coats of arms: The first one is believed to have been a shield with six blue stripes and six silver stripes, possibly signifying the 12 þings of the Icelandic Commonwealth.
Island har haft ett flertal olika vapen: Det första tros ha utgjorts av en sköld med sex blå ränder och sex silverränder, möjligen symboliserande Islands tolv ting.
