1837–1901 variant

[edit]

I think that the Tudor Crown depicted on the lion here should be the St Edward's Crown. Queen Victoria used the St Edward's Crown until 1880. With her proclamation as Empress of India, the crown was changed to a more imperial design. But it was very haphazard and wasn't standardised until the accession of Edward VII in 1901.[1] Dgp4004 (talk) 20:31, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or rather, it shouldn't be changed but another file created with the St Edwards Crown design for 1837–1901. Dgp4004 (talk) 20:33, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1952–present variant

[edit]

Also, might a version of this file for 1952–present be created please? Elizabeth II replaced the winged harp with a Gaelic harp and the lion was depicted with the Crown of Scotland.

There is a similar design here but it is depicted slightly differently which makes side by side comparisons difficult:
