Coat of arms of Uzbekistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current coat of arms of Uzbekistan was adopted on July 2, 1992. It is similar to the coat of arms of the previous Uzbek SSR.
The coat of arms is in the form of a circle and mainly bears the national colors blue, white, and green. On the left there is a cotton plant and to the right wheat borders the coat of arms, cotton and wheat are the two major agricultural products of the country.
It is surmounted by the Star of Rub el Hizb (Unicode U+06DE), a symbol of Islam, to which a majority of Uzbeks profess.
In the middle, a khumo, symbol of happiness and love of freedom, beats its wings. In the background a birdseye view of Uzbekistan is painted. The rising sun over the mountains with its sun rays rounds off the image.
The two rivers behind the bird, leading to the mountains symbolize Amu Darya and Syr Darya.
