Coats of arms and flags of Spain 
This image depicts a coat of arms or a flag of Spain or a Spanish administrative entity.
The Spanish Branding Law (Ley 17/2001, de 7 de diciembre) states in its 5th article (absolute prohibitions):
i) Any symbol reproducing or imitating the Spanish Coat of Arms, the Spanish Flag, Spanish distinctions and official emblems, or official symbols of Spanish autonomous communities, municipalities, provinces or any other municipal entities, unless explicitly authorized.
The Spanish Copyright Law (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/1996, de 12 de abril), states on its 13th article (Exclusions):
Given that the flags and coats of arms of Spain and its administrative entities (including their designs) are regulated by Spanish Laws (or Decrees), the aforementioned laws establish that these symbols must be regarded as being in the public domain and free of copyright, as are reproductions of this seal or flag.
