Coat of arms of the Socialist Republic of Serbia

The coat of arms of the Socialist Republic of Serbia was presented on the same day as the flag of the public. It was designed by Đorđe Andrejević Kun.

Description

In blue a rising yellow sun on a blue gear is. The whole is surrounded by a right bunch of golden wheat and left leaves of the oak. About the coat of arms, a red fünfspitziger star. The center red shield shows only four times in the silver stylized Cyrillic letters С ( = Lat S). These letters are like the silver fire steel. The symbolism goes back to Stefan Nemanja. His reign was from 1167 to 1196.

The silver wicked cross which was a long time in this Serbian coat of arms, was removed for ideological reasons and quartered no longer since the shield. A red band shows the annual figures in 1804 and 1941. The first number refers to the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire. The second number refers to the national uprising against the Axis Powers in World War II.

Use

The coat of arms was used for some years after the collapse of Yugoslavia. Only the new coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia dissolved in 1993 from the old one.
