Coat of arms

The heraldry of Granada was employed as a personal device by

Catholic Monarchs and their descendants. From 1475, the monarchs of Castile called themselves also monarchs of Granada, but it was not until 1492 that their military might made the title more than a boast. In 1497, a new coin, the excelente de granada, featured the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Granada. This heraldic figure became part of Spain's national coat of arms.[1]
