Coat Of Arms

Coat Of Arms Of The Republic Of Armenia
The central shield of the coat of arms bears the charges of four royal Armenian dynasties: the Artaxids, the Arshakids, the Bagratunis and the Rubinyans (the Kilikian kingdom). These surround the depiction of mount Ararat with the outline of Noah's ark resting on the peak.
The silver waves of lake Van are at the foot of the mountain.
The shield is supported by a lion and an eagle that symbolize the spirit, the power, forbearance and velour.
A sword at the bottom represents the struggle of the Armenian people for Freedom and Independence, while the quill and cereal spikes symbolize its creative talent and peaceful character.
