This heraldic emblem combines the Portuguese shield-featuring five blue shields on white (Quinas) and seven castles-quartered with the black-and-yellow striped arms of the House of Braganza. It is surmounted by a royal crown, flanked by two green dragons as supporters, and suspended from golden chains bearing the red Cross of the Order of Christ. The design reflects dynastic union, maritime legacy, and Catholic devotion central to Portugal’s imperial identity.
