Coat of arms of the Central African Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coat of Arms of the Central African Republic consists of a shield in the center, with two flags on its edges, and with a sun rising over the shield. Below and above the shield are banners, and there is a medal located below the shield as well.
[edit] Symbolism
The elephant and the baobab tree represent nature and the backbone of the country. The gold star on a map of Africa symbolizes the position of the Central African Republic. The hand (bottom right corner) was the symbol of the dominant party in 1963 when the arms were adopted.
