Furthermore, it bears some similarity to the <a href="/wiki/Motif_(visual_arts)" title="Motif (visual arts)">motif</a> present in the arms of <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a>, which had considerable influence in the history of Montenegro. After <a href="/wiki/Montenegro" title="Montenegro">Montenegro</a> regained its independence from <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>, it gradually became a <a href="/wiki/Theocracy" title="Theocracy">theocracy</a> to have a united front against the numerous Turkish invasions of the country. For this reason, the authority of the church was reflected in various insignia of the age. </p><p>After the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Secular" class="mw-redirect" title="Secular">secular</a> dynastic succession in 1851, the lion was placed beneath the eagle, while the initials of the ruler stood on the shield: notably, that of <a href="/wiki/Danilo_I,_Prince_of_Montenegro" title="Danilo I, Prince of Montenegro">Danilo I, Prince of Montenegro</a>, <a href="/wiki/Danilo_II,_Prince_of_Montenegro" class="mw-redirect" title="Danilo II, Prince of Montenegro">Danilo II, Prince of Montenegro</a> and King <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_I_of_Montenegro" title="Nicholas I of Montenegro">Nicholas I of Montenegro</a>. Curiously, Danilo I was still a <a href="/wiki/Prince-bishop" title="Prince-bishop">prince-bishop</a> while the standard bearing his initials was used. </p><p>The modern coat of arms placed the lion d’or back on the shield, erasing that monarchic symbol. Today, Montenegro is a secular, democratic republic, so the fact that the <a href="/wiki/Crown_(headgear)" class="mw-redirect" title="Crown (headgear)">crown</a> of the Petrović-Njegoš dynasty was also represented created some controversy at the time of its adoption. However, this configuration proved extremely popular. The coat of arms can be seen not only in public places such as schools and governmental offices, but also in many private houses, places of business and private universities, due to being a common display of national pride. </p><p>Despite the mention of the red background, the coat of arms is almost always used without it, with the eagle appearing as a supporter. The coat of arms appears on a red background on the national seal and the national flag. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Use_of_national_symbols_under_Montenegrin_law">Use of national symbols under Montenegrin law</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Use of national symbols under Montenegrin law"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The coat of arms and the flag are used in the shape and contents determined by law.

Their family arms – a golden crowned <a href="/wiki/Two-headed_eagle" class="mw-redirect" title="Two-headed eagle">two-headed eagle</a> on a red background – laid the foundation of the Montenegrin state heraldry: the two-headed eagle became the standard symbol of the state. After gaining power, the <a href="/wiki/Petrovi%C4%87-Njego%C5%A1_dynasty" title="Petrović-Njegoš dynasty">Petrović-Njegoš dynasty</a> took the golden two-headed eagle as the state symbol. Vladika Danilo charged on its breast the Great Arms of the Petrović-Njegoš family (shield, crown, mantling), while his successor vladika Sava made major changes to the coat of arms: he removed the family Great Arms from the eagle's breast, and added a <a href="/wiki/Sceptre" title="Sceptre">sceptre</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Globus_cruciger" title="Globus cruciger">globus cruciger</a> ("the imperial orb") in its claws. He also added another symbol retained until present day – a golden lion passant – below the golden eagle. With Petar I, further rearrangement of the coat of arms took place: he removed the royal insignia from the eagle and charged the eagle's breast with the Middle Arms of the Petrović-Njegoš while leaving the lion passant. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Danilo_I,_Prince_of_Montenegro" title="Danilo I, Prince of Montenegro">Prince Danilo</a> also reorganised the coat of arms: he charged the golden eagle's breast with a shield with a blue background and a golden lion passant on green ground. In one claw the eagle held the orb, and in the other a sword and a sceptre. In the time of <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_I_of_Montenegro" title="Nicholas I of Montenegro">King Nicholas I</a>, the sword was removed and later, in conformity with the Constitution of 1905, the colour of the eagle was changed from golden to silver as well as the colour of the inescutcheon – from blue to red.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_(1945%E2%80%931993).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg/150px-Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="182" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg/225px-Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg/300px-Coat_of_arms_of_Montenegro_%281945%E2%80%931993%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="406" data-file-height="493" /></a><figcaption>Emblem of the <a href="/wiki/Socialist_Republic_of_Montenegro" title="Socialist Republic of Montenegro">Socialist Republic of Montenegro</a> used from 1945 to 1992.
