	Герб на Ватикана в Общомедия

Гербът на Ватикана може да бъде носен само и единствено от папата или като част от флага на Ватикана. Гербовете на Светия престол и Ватикана са във форма, която съчетава два кръстосани ключа и тиара, използвани като герб на Светия престол, произхождат от 14 век^[1]. Комбинацията от един златен и един сребърен ключ се появява малко по-късно^[2]^[3].
