Details
Adopted 1 October 2004

Georgia's coat of arms was adopted on 1 October 2004. It is partially based on the medieval arms of the Georgian royal house of Bagrationi.

It has two lions rampant as supporters. They held a shield with Saint George, Georgia's patron saint, slaying the dragon. The shield is surmounted with the royal crown of Georgia.

Motto: Strength is in Unity (Dzala Ertobashia, written in the Mkhedruli script of the Georgian alphabet, ძალა ერთობაშია).
