Coat of arms of Georgia (country)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia's coat of arms was adopted on 1 October 2004. It is partially based on the medieval arms of the Georgian royal house of Bagrationi.
It has two lions rampant as supporters. They held a shield with St George, Georgia's patron saint, slaying the dragon. The shield is surmounted with the royal crown of Georgia.
Motto: Strength is in Unity (Dzala Ertobashia, written in the Mkhedruli script of the Georgian alphabet, ძალა ერთობაშია).
[edit] Former coat of arms
This coat of arms was in use by the Democratic Republic of Georgia throughout its existence in 1918-1921. Restored in 1991, it was replaced by the current coat of arms in 2004.
