This article claims that the flag bears a Latin Cross; but after looking up the definition of the "Latin Cross", the cross of this flag doesn't appear to be a Latin Cross. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.82.5 (talk) 14:34, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True; this is the term that the official documents use, for whatever reason. Fishal (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The internet offers several different variants of the Coat of Arms, some of them, well into the 20th century, even incorporating a double-headed eagle! However, I can nowhere find a systematic history of the arms. Does anyone feel competent to add this information? Or clarify at least when the present design was adopted?--Oudeístalk 09:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
