Coat of arms of Uppland
The Coat of arms of Uppland is: A gold globus cruciger on a field of red. The coat of arms is a crown, as with all regional coats of arms, of a duke's crown.
The coat of arms was created for the funeral of Gustav Vasa in 1560, and has remained unchanged since. The globus cruciger symbolises spiritual and earthly power. The coat of arms of Uppsala County is identical, but with a royal crown in place of the duke's. The coat of arms is also included in the coat of arms of Stockholm County, along with a small version of the coat of arms of Södermanland and the coat of arms of Stockholm.
