The Coat of Arms of Switzerland shows the same white cross as the flag of Switzerland, but on a red shield. The appearance of the coat of arms or shield varies greatly, but there has been a federal resolution including a drawing of the coat of arms.

Like the Swiss flag, the coat of arms is used on many items such as Swiss francs, license plates ^*, and Swiss-branded exports such as Swiss Army knives.
