Two digressions:

It is little known that Siegmund Freud has been portrayed in 1931 by Oscar Nemon (1906-1985), outstanding sculptor and medallist, born in Osijek, Croatia.

Very beutiful 16th century Croatian coats of arms can be seen in the Cathedral of St Vitus in Hradčany, Prague, Czechia: Regnum Sclavoniae, Croatiae, Dalmatiae, on the left from the main altar. They appear together with several dozens of other old European coats of arms. Drawings seem to be unknown in Croatian heraldic literature.

Re. Sclavoniae, Croatiae, Dalmatiae (Kingdom of Slavonia, Croatia, and Dalmatia)
Note that here the coat of arms of Sclavonia is the same as that of Bosnia.
