The coat of arms of Georgia ( Georgian საქართველოს გერბი ) is available in a large and a small version.
Today's coat of arms, which is based on the medieval coat of arms of the Georgian ruling dynasty Bagratiden , was passed by parliament on October 1, 2004 with 103 votes against three and replaced the coat of arms introduced in 1990, in which Saint George was in a star.
Large national coat of arms
The large national coat of arms shows a red shield on which Georgia's patron saint, Saint George, is depicted as a silver rider with a golden halo. He defeats a silver dragon with a silver spear. Above the shield is the Georgian-Iberian crown. He is held by two golden lions looking at each other. Under the shield there is a stylized vineyard into which a banner with the national motto and two red crosses of the flag of Georgia is woven:
- Strength through unity
- Georgian : ძალა ერთობაშია, dsala ertobaschia
Small national coat of arms
The small national coat of arms only uses the red shield and the crown, dispensing with the lions, the vineyard and the motto ribbon.
