Czech Lion Coat of Arms - National Symbol of the Czech Republic #1948029 (License: Personal Use)

This heraldic lion, known as the Czech Lion or Lion of Bohemia, features a silver (white) lion with a golden crown, tongue, and claws, standing rampant while holding a sword in its right paw and a shield in its left. Its origins trace back to the Přemyslid dynasty in the 12th century, evolving into the central element of the modern Czech coat of arms. The lion’s fierce posture and regal adornments reflect strength, justice, and continuity of Czech statehood.
