Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland - Pint Glass 16oz

The Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland is a heraldic design that represents the united kingdom during the period known as the Commonwealth (1649-1660). This coat of arms symbolizes the political union established under Oliver Cromwell's rule following the execution of King Charles I. The shield features three quartered sections, each representing one of the three constituent nations: England in the first and fourth quarters, Scotland in the second, and Ireland (both England and Ireland united) in the third. The Tudor rose represents England, the lion rampant Scotland, and a harp Ireland. In addition to the shield, the coat of arms includes the helm, mantling, and crest specific to each nation. The crest for England is a lion sejant guardant supporting the Royal Arms of England and Scotland; for Scotland, it is a unicorn, and for Ireland, a boar's head crowned with a representation of St Patrick's cross. The motto on this coat of arms, "Quae floret Solis ortus cum semel occidit" (Latin for "Once the sun rises it never sets"), is an allusion to the idea that the Commonwealth would never fade due to its global influence and power.
