Coat of arms of Triballia

Government seal during the First Serbian Uprising (1805–1813)

The Coat of arms of Triballia (Serbian: Грб Трибалије/Grb Tribalije or Грб Тривалије/Grb Trivalije) is a historical coat of arms attributed to medieval Serbia by various armorials, and is today depicted in several Serbian municipality coat of arms in Šumadija. The Triballi were an ancient tribe whose ethnonym was used as an exonym for Serbs by the Byzantines in the Middle Ages.[1] The Triballian coat of arms depicts the head of a boar pierced by an arrow.[2] It was adopted by Karađorđe[3] into the seal of the Revolutionary Serbian government (the Praviteljstvujušči sovjet serbski), alongside the Serbian cross.[4]
