Coat of arms of Syria

The coat of arms of Syria - national emblem of the Syrian Arab Republic - shows a golden falcon ( no eagle) with black outlines. This hawk is called the " Falcon of the Quraish ". Other Arab countries use this emblem also, or have used it in the past.

Description

Unlike the most commonly used in heraldry birds of prey, the hawk Qureish looks mostly to the left. On his chest, the animal is wearing a long- pointed shield showing the vertically flipped flag. Under the shield are two crossed laurel branches. About the talons of the hawk a green banner is on whom it is written in black font the official name of the country, " al - Dschumhūriyya al-' arabiyya as- sūriyya " Arab الجمهورية العربية السورية, (Ger. literally, Syrian Arab Republic, official name: " Syrian Arab Republic ").

Use

The coat of arms was introduced with the independence on 17 April 1946 and is used, among others, in official documents and stamps. Since 1950 the coat of arms appears on the coins of the country, with an interruption in the years 1958 to 1961 when Syria was part of the United Arab Republic. During this time, a variant of the Eagle of Saladin was used. The watermark of Syrian banknotes also shows the coat of arms.
