The Coat of arms of Ethiopia has been in its current form since 1996. It contains a golden pentagram radiating rays of light on a blue shield. The pentagram originates from the seal of King Solomon, whose descendants were allegedly the former Ethiopian royal family. Today the pentagram stands for the unity of the people and the nationality of Ethiopia.

The coat of arms also appears on the centre of the Flag of Ethiopia.
