Editing Crown (Heraldry) (section)

==Naval, civic, mural and similar crowns==
A [[mural crown]] is commonly displayed on coats of arms of towns and some republics. Other republics may use a so-called [[people's crown]] or omit the use of a crown altogether. The heraldic forms of crowns are often inspired by the physical appearance of the respective country's actual royal or princely crowns.

Ships and other units of some [[Navy|navies]] have a [[naval crown]], composed of the sails and sterns of ships, above the shield of their coats of arms. Squadrons of some [[air force]]s have an [[astral crown]], composed of wings and stars. There is also the [[Eastern crown]], made up of spikes, and when each spike is topped with a star, it becomes a celestial crown.

Whereas most county councils in England use mural crowns, there is a special type of crown that was used by [[Shires of Scotland|Scottish county councils]]. Today, most of the [[Subdivisions of Scotland|Scottish unitary authorities]] still use this "wheat sheaf crown", but it is now the usual gold. It was composed of spikes, was normally shown ''vert'' (green) and had golden wheat sheaves between the spikes.
