This coat of arms is oval, it carries in its barracks the arms of Castilla-León, Aragon, Sicily and other dynasties in its day connected with the Spanish Crown. Crown stamping royal, from its tip hangs the golden fleece, a symbol that ordinarily hangs from the necklace of the order of the Toisón de Oro (Golden Fleece), necklace that seems to be the one that surrounds the shield, although it is not closed.
