State symbols of the Czech Republic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The state symbols of the Czech Republic are defined in Act No. 3/1993 Coll. On the State Symbols of the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic has seven national symbols : the large national coat of arms, the small national coat of arms, the national colors, the national flag, the standard of the President of the Republic, the state seal and the national anthem.

  • The great national coat of arms ( velký státní znak ) is quartered. In the first and fourth fields a soaring silver, double-tailed, gold-armored lion with a golden crown of leaves is shown on red for Bohemia. In the second blue field a red and silver nested, gold armored eagle with a golden crown of leaves for Moravia. In the third golden field is a black, red armed eagle with a silver clover stem with a cross and a golden crown of leaves for Silesia.
  • The Small State Coat of Arms ( malý státní znak ) depicts a gold-reinforced, erect silver double-tailed lion with a golden crown of leaves on red and is identical to the traditional Bohemian coat of arms.
  • The state flag of the Czech Republic ( státní vlajka ) consists of a white upper and a red lower horizontal bar, between which a blue wedge is inserted up to half its length on the shaft. The aspect ratio is 2: 3.
  • The standard of the President of the Republic ( vlajka prezidenta republiky ) is white and has a border of alternating white, red and blue flames. In the middle of the white field is the large national coat of arms. Below him on a red ribbon with yellow (gold) linden branches the white (silver) inscription “ PRAVDA VÍTĚZÍ ” ( Truth wins ).
  • The state seal ( státní pečeť ) is formed by the large state coat of arms, which is underlaid with linden twigs on the sides, surrounded by the inscription "ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA" ( Czech Republic ).
