The coat of arms of the antipope Benedict XIII (reigned 1394-1423), who was elected to succeed the Avignon papacy and reigned in opposition to Pope Boniface IX.

 

The use of the tiara with pastoral cross is based off a contemporary depiction of Benedict’s coat of arms, as the use of tiara with keys was not yet the standard.

These old papal & anti-papal) arms are quite interesting.

It would be helpful for those of us who aren’t familiar with the history of the papacy to include dates so we can view them in a broader historical context without having to resort to Wiki smile .
