Coat of arms of His Majesty King Charles III emblazoned by me, displayed over the known «King Charles III Tartan», registration 14030 at the Scottish Register of Tartans. It was created by the Scottish Tartans Authority for His Majesty on the occasion of his coronation, drawing from the sett of the Balmoral Tartan circa 1850, and features a central triple-stripe motif (one broad and two narrow) found in previous royal tartans worn by the King. Its palette, including green, blue and a soft red, has been matched to eighteenth-century natural-dye examples from the Scottish Tartans Authority collection.

G0113, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Randy David Lee Xavier Potts's standard, it has been emblazoned by me. The two differences between the heraldic standard assumed by Randy Potts and the heraldic standard granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta are that the bald eagle is blazoned proper, in consonance with the coat of arms, and that the dragon is blazoned armed and langued Gules, in consonance with the crest. This heraldic standard has been included in the book [Gauci, C. A.; Cassar, R. M.; 2025; page 175]. Structure: Coat of arms; Badge; 1^st line of the motto «In Honorem»; Crest; 2^nd line of the motto «Victoria»; Badge.

Or, a lion rampant Gules, armed and langued Azure; a double tressure flory counterflory Gules.

Escudo de oro, un león de gules, armado y lampasado de azur; un trechor doble flordelisado y contraflordelisado de gules.

Illuminated and a leather finishing.

The blazon of this coat of arms is usually written with the heraldic term «within». I think it is not necessary because the lion can only be inside the double trechor. Using «within» the blazon is: «Or, a lion rampant Gules, armed and langued Azure, within a double tressure flory counterflory Gules».

Quarterly Azure and Gules; overall a leopard face, crowned Or, langued Gules, within a tressure flory Or. Motto: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro. Lema: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

The official blazon of this coat of arms is «Quarterly Azure and Gules a lion’s face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a tressure flory on the outer edge of the same». The following are my comments to the official blazon:

• With «crowned» can be assumed the common default «crowned with an ancient crown».
• With «tressure flory» can be assumed the common default «tressure flory on the outer edge».
• I use to specify the «langued», for example Gules or Azure, because I think there is not a common default tincture for «langued» in all heraldic traditions.
• The use of «overall» can help to understand the blazon, then I add it.
