The coat of arms of Armenia was adopted on April 19, 1992, after the country gained independence from the Soviet Union. It consists of an eagle and a lion supporting a shield, which contains a depiction of Mount Ararat with Noah’s Ark on top. The eagle and the lion symbolize power, courage, and nobility, while Mount Ararat represents the national identity of the Armenian people, as well as their historical ties to the region. The shield is also adorned with a ribbon, which contains the national colors of Armenia: red, blue, and orange. Above the shield, there is a crown made of seven peaks, representing the seven provinces of historic Armenia. The coat of arms is an important symbol of the Armenian nation, and it is used in various official capacities, including on government documents, passports, and national currency.
