    There has been a surprising amount of controversy between Sweden and Denmark about those three crowns (symbolises Sweden as a part of Denmark since the Kalmar union). Gustav Vasa was malding about it in the 16th century.

    Note that they removed the Norwegian lion 200 years ago when it became part of Sweden, but kept the Swedish crowns for some reason.
