royal crest
Crown family insignia
A royal crest is an emblem representing a monarch or royal family, typically featuring heraldic symbols like crowns, lions, eagles, or coats of arms.
It appears on official documents, government buildings, currency, and royal residences to signify authority or endorsement: The letter bore the royal crest.
In strict heraldic terms, the crest is only the element atop the helmet in a full coat of arms, though common usage treats it as any royal emblem.
