Born in 1137, King of León from 1157 to 1188, died in Benavente on January 22, 1188.

Round seal, a lion sejant. Circular motto: «Signum Fernandi Regis Hispanorum».

Sello rodado, un león sentado. Divisa circular: «Signum Fernandi Regis Hispanorum».

Existing seal interpreted by me as follows: the shape of the seal is circular; the legend is written within an outer black border; inside, a seated lion, not so much rampant and even less passant; the whole rendered in flat sable ink; and the result glazed with azure ink.

I use the term "legend" for its identifying purpose regarding King Fernando II of León; note that among the terms motto, legend, device, and war cry, all referring to texts in the blazon, different nuances and meanings can be found.

The following have been created and illustrated: two Azure and Argent borders charged with 21 salient horses, to frame paper and documents; a coat of arms in plain tincture outlined in Sable; another watercoloured and illuminated shield, with its two charges and its ordinary, the chevron, outlined of the field tincture; another shield with mantling and wreath decorated with a special type of drawing I call chinoiserie, with crest and a beaten metal finish; and a two-colour shield, without outlining, in plain tinctures, which could be used as a logotype, with the understanding that a coat of arms always goes beyond the current concept of a logotype.

A Sable seal and an example of its printing in Azure ink have been designed and illustrated from this coat of arms. This seal has been physically made in rubber and wood with a diameter of 4 cm with the motto "Juana María Domaica Maroto".

An ex libris in Sable and an example of its printing in Azure ink have been created and illustrated. This ex libris has also been physically made in rubber and wood, with a diameter of 4 cm and with the motto "Juana María Domaica Maroto, ex libris".

Ex libris created with the coat of arms. The ex libris is supported by two lions rampant and surrounded, in its upper part, above the lions, by the full name of the holder of the gentilic coat of arms and, in its lower part, below the lions, by the device «ex libris» accompanied by two open books.

In the first side image of this article the result of stamping this ex libris with Azure ink on a parchment bearing the blazon of the coat of arms. The ivory-colored parchment is decorated with a frame formed by a vairy Or and Gules that is also used to decorate the heraldic catalogue and in the second image both the seal and this ex libris of rubber with wooden handles, both stamped on white paper with Azure ink.

The Latin term «ex libris» ~ «exlibris», in Spanish, means «de entre los libros de». Therefore, when a book is marked with the ex libris of a person or an entity, it indicates that it belongs to the set of books in the library of that person or entity, whether private or public.

The Spanish term «exlibris» is defined by [Real Academia Española; 2014] as «A label or engraved stamp that is stamped on the inside of the book cover, in which the name of the owner or that of the library to which the book belongs is stated», in the case illustrated in this article, it corresponds to a «sello» that is stamped with ink.
