Coat of arms of Yemen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coat of Arms of Yemen depict a golden eagle with a scroll between its claws. On the scroll is written the name of the country in Arabic: الجمهورية اليمنية or Al-Jumhuriyyah Al-Yamaniyah. The chest of the eagle contains a shield that depicts a coffee plant and the Marib Dam, that are below four blue and three wavy stripes. The flagstaffs on the right and left of the eagle hold the Flag of Yemen.
[edit] Historical coat of arms
From 1945 to 1990, Yemen was split into North and South. The North had a coat of arms more similar to the present day one and its shield bears similarities with the shield of the former kingdom. The South had a coat of arms more similar to the coat of arms of Egypt and Iraq and Syria.
