The golden Garuda eagle wears the coat of arms of Indonesia with a golden chain around its neck. Its 17 flight and 8 tail feathers represent August 17, 1945 . That Friday was the day of the proclamation of independence. The coat of arms represents the pancasila , the 5 principles of the state. The principles are:
- The gold star on the black shield in the middle of the coat of arms stands for belief in one god.
- In the red field in front, the buffalo head symbolizes democracy.
- In the silver field at the top at the back is a banyam tree, which stands for national unity.
- In the lower right silver field rice and cotton are shown, which stand for social justice and the equality of men and women.
- The gold chain in the lower left red field consists of round and square links. It is the symbol of humanity in society.
These 5 principles are in the silver ribbon under the motto "BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA", which means something like "Unity in diversity".
