Coat of arms of Iraq

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coat of Arms of Iraq.

The Coat of arms of Iraq includes the golden Eagle of Saladin associated with 20th-century pan-Arabism, with a shield of the Iraqi flag, and holding a scroll below with the Arabic words الجمهورية العراقية (al-Jumhuriya al-`Iraqiya or "The Iraqi Republic)".

[edit] History

The original coat of arms in 1965, did not have the Kufic script between the stars and the flag was placed vertically. This version remained in use until replaced by a version with Takbir and stars in 2004. Continued controversy over Iraq's flag resulted in Iraq's government adopting an interim flag which has removed the green stars but retains the Kufic script.[1]
