Coat of arms of Malichka

The coat of arms of Malichka (Slovene: Grb Malički) (Chinese: 徽章馬列基亞) is, from 1900-1970 and since 1991, the arms of the Kingdom of Malichka. The arms contains symbols related to the country's colonial history.

History
The coat of arms was first adopted 1900, almost a year after Malichka became independent from Slovenia. The first incarnation lacked the supporters but did feature the heraldic flower(s) of the reigning royal house.

The arms remained in use for 70 years. Over time, the arms were amended to include the stag and dragon supporters and wreaths. In 1970, then-Supreme Leader Brian Bjergsen scrapped the arms in favor of a communist-inspired emblem.

The emblem had two wreaths of both wheat and oak on either side. At the base were two pine cones on a bed of pine needles. Between the wreaths was a scene depicting the Malichkan Alps and forest. At the top were three yellow six-pointed stars. The color of the ribbons were blue-white-red.

The emblem remained in use until 1991 when the arms were restored by order of King Roko IV of House Novoselić. The new arms contained a scroll with the country's current motto, and a beaver holding the royal flower for a crest.

The flowers on the crest and compartment change every time a new reigning family takes control of Malichka. The current royal family is House Blažević which uses the Blažević Rose (a Tudor Rose with inverted colors).
