Coat of arms of Kazakhstan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of Kazakhstan was adopted following the dissolving of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991.
The coat of arms has a circular form and carries the colors blue and yellow. Blue represents the blue sky and yellow is the symbol of the agriculture which blossomed in the Soviet era. To the left and right of the coat of arms, two unicorns with wings look away from each other.
Like other post-Soviet republics whose arms do not predate the October Revolution, the current arms retains some components of the Soviet one. In the upper part of the coat of arms, there is a star; the rays behind the yurt smokehole also bespeak the Soviet arms.
The name of the country in Kazakh is in the lower part of the coat of arms is stated: "ҚA3AҚCTAH."
In the middle there is a shangrak (Kazakh: Шаңырақ, shangyraq; Russian: Шанырак, shanyrak), the crown of the Kazakh yurt. The shangrak symbolizes both wealth of heritage and a hopeful future.
