Emblem of Yugoslavia

The coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (until 1929: Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes ) originated from the hitherto customary coat of arms of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Description

In red, a gold reinforced, goldgezungter silver double-headed eagle with applied coat of arms, on the right of the red shield quartered by a silver continuous cross each superscript golden fire steel bewinkelt is ( Serbs ) and left the red-white geschachte sign (Croatia ) against lies and the blue sign foot shows a silver -lying crescent with three gold stars above ( Slovenia). On the plate, surrounded by red ermine-lined coat of arms tent with a royal crown, is also the royal crown.

Symbolism: The crest represented the three peoples of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Bosniaks or Muslims were referred to as Muslim Serbs or Muslim Croats. Macedonians and Montenegrins were called Serbs and Albanians were not considered a minority.

From the Serbian Cross, the Croatian and the Slovenian coat of arms Sahovnica, which consists of three six -pointed stars was then on a pile, the new coat of arms was formed. The most important difference was that the coat of arms was divided into three parts: The shield of the arms of Serbia, the coat of arms of Croatia and the former coat of arms of Slovenia.
