The Official Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (The uk coat-of-arms)

It is the version used by the Government.

Red Lion Rampant (Scotland). The lion, often depicted as a rampant figure, became a significant motif due to its associations with strength and bravery. Scottish heraldry flourished as clans sought to establish unique identifiers not only for themselves but also their lands. The lion rampant quickly emerged as a potent symbol for Scottish royalty, associated with figures like King William I, who adopted it for his coat of arms. The red lion signals not just ferocity but also valor, strength, and a blood connection to the land. Coupled with the yellow background, it creates a striking visual representation that captures attention and evokes emotion. Jewish version of the symbol: the lions rampant represented the twin sons of Judah, son of Jacob/Israel. The red lion rampant represents Zerah, because he was first born as indicated by the red thread placed around his wrist, and the gold lion rampant represents Perez, because he was first to completely emerge from the womb. Perez was one of the sons of Judah through an illicit affair (незаконная связь) with his daughter-in-law, Tamar. Perez’s twin brother was Zerah.
