\nas following:
\n“Gold. cheque chequy az. and ar. betw. two boars’ heads in chief sa. and cress in base

\nThe translation of the blazon also describes the original colors of the coat of arms of the
\nMerciers as being:
\n“On a gold background: a horizontal strip on chessboard of blue and silver color included
\nbetween two black heads of wild boar in upper leaves and a red crescent at the base;

\n“A hunter’s half-colored natural, blue jacket, blowing into a horn of
\nnatural color: above his head is the motto: “Blow Shrill”. ”
