Coat of arms of Laos

history

The coat of arms of Laos shows the national shrine Pha That Luang. Furthermore the dam appears as a symbol of power generation at the reservoir Nam Ngun, an asphalt street appears, and a stylized watered field is represented. In the lower part a section of a gear wheel is to be seen. The two inscriptions left and right read "Peace, Independence, Democracy" (lao script: เบชเบฑเบ™เบ•เบดเบžเบฒเบš เป€เบญเบเบฐเบฅเบฒเบ” เบ›เบฐเบŠเบฒเบ—เบดเบ›เบฐเป„เบ•) and announce on the right "Unity and Prosperity" (lao script: เป€เบญเบเบฐเบžเบฒเบš เบงเบฑเบ”เบ–เบฐเบ™เบฒเบ–เบฒเบงเบญเบ™.)

The coat of arms was modified in 1991. The existing Communist symbols red star as well as the hammer and sickle were replaced with the national shrine at Pha That Luang. The coat of arms is specified in the Laotian constitution:
