ΔΙΑΤΑΓΜΑ
Περί προσδιορισμού των εμβλημάτων του Κράτους, του τύπου των σφραγίδων του Βασιλείου, του Βασιλέως και των μελών της βασιλικής οικογενείας, και των δημοσίων αρχών.
ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Α΄,
ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ.

Προτάσει του Ημετέρου υπουργικού συμβουλίου, απεφασίσαμεν και διατάττομεν:

Άρθρον 1. Τα εμβλήματα του Κράτους φέρουσι, κατά το επισυνημμένον σχέδιον, ισόπλευρον κυανούν θυρεόν, οξυνόμενον εις το μέσον της κάτω πλευράς και περιέχοντα τον ελληνικόν σταυρόν αργυρόχρουν. Ο θυρεός, περιβεβλημένος του τάγματος του Σωτήρος την ταινίαν, αφ' ης ήρτηται το διάσημον, και φέρων κεκλεισμένον βασιλικόν στέμμα, εφ' ου φαίνεται σφαίρα σταυροφόρος και καμαρωτή, κρατείται αμφοτέρωθεν υπό δύω Ηρακλέων φυσικού χρώματος· κάτωθεν δε του θυρεού, επί ταινίας κυανής, έχουσης στενόν αργυρόχρουν περιθώριον, υπάρχει γεγραμμένον χρυσοίς γράμμασι το εξής ρήμα: ΙΣΧΥΣ ΜΟΥ Η ΑΓΑΠΗ ΤΟΥ ΛΑΟΥ. Το δε όλον κείται υπό βασιλικόν σκήνωμα, έξωθεν μεν πορφυρούν και έχον σποράδην μικρούς ελληνικούς σταυρούς χρυσούς, πέριξ δε και έσωθεν κεκοσμημένον δέρματι τριχώδει λευκογαλής, και γύρω μαιάνδρω χρυσώ.
