On the 8th of December 1856 a coat of arms was adopted for the Government of Estonia. It is identical with the arms for the duchy of Estonia in the Swedish era. On the shield is the Imperial Russian crown and around the shield is a garland of branches of oak intertwined with the blue ribbon of the Order of Alexander Newski
