 (first time created for this occasion - six-sided golden star above the silver ribbon). It should also be noted that the official Coat of Arms of Serbia is different than that of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The Crown/Shield/Robe are different from each other, As well the Serbian Coat of Arms also bears two golden fleurs-de-lys, While the CoA of Yugoslavia did not.
