Royal Coat of Arms of Spain (1580-1668) - Pint Glass 16oz

The Royal Coat of Arms of Spain used between 1580 and 1668, also known as the Coat of Arms of Philip II or the Armorial Achievement of the Spanish Monarchy, is a historical heraldic symbol that represents the kingdom during the Habsburg rule. The design features a shield divided into four quarters: (1) Spain's quartered red and gold castles on a field of quartered red and gold; (2) the Castilian castle and lion on a red background; (3) the Aragon golden stripes and red cross on a white background; (4) the Navarre green, white, and red saltire on a gold background. Above the shield sits a crown called the Imperial Crown of Spain, and below it is a ribbon bearing the motto "Plus Ultra" (Latin for "Beyond"), symbolizing Spanish exploration and expansion during this era. This particular coat of arms signifies the reign of Philip II, who reigned from 1556 to 1598, during which Spain reached its peak as a global power.
