Finland

During the Swedish reign, Swedish coronets were used. Crowns were used in the coats of arms of the historical provinces of Finland. For Finland Proper, Satakunta, Tavastia and Karelia, it was a ducal coronet, for others, a comital coronet. In 1917 with independence, the coat of arms of Finland was introduced with a Grand Ducal coronet, but it was soon removed, in 1920. Today, some cities use coronets, e.g. Pori has a mural crown and Vaasa a Crown of Nobility.

As a charge

In heraldry, a charge is an image occupying the field of a coat of arms. Many coats of arms incorporate crowns as charges. One notable example of this lies in the Three Crowns of the arms of Sweden.

Additionally, many animal charges (frequently lions) and sometimes human heads also appear crowned. Animal charges gorged (collared) of an open coronet also occur, though far less frequently.

• 
  A golden crown appears prominently in the arms of Vestfold, a county in Norway.
• 
  A crowned lion head in the arms of Kreis Biedenkopf, a county in Hesse, Germany (1832-1974)
• 
  The Three Crowns, as well as lions and leopards crowned, in the arms of Eric of Pomerania
• 
  Badge of the Unicorn Pursuivant, a unicorn gorged of a coronet
