The State Emblem of the Republic of Belarus: what it symbolizes and where it is used

The coat of arms is a symbol of our country's sovereignty. Let's look at the details. What does the coat of arms look like? In a silver field, there is a golden outline of the border of Belarus, superimposed on the golden rays of the rising sun over the globe. At the top is a five-pointed red star. The coat of arms is framed by a wreath of golden ears of wheat, intertwined on the right with clover flowers, and on the left with flax flowers. The wreath is thrice entwined with a red and green ribbon, and at the bottom, there is a golden inscription: "Republic of Belarus". ? Where is the coat of arms displayed? On the buildings of government bodies and state institutions, inside the offices of their heads, on seals, coins, and passports of citizens of Belarus. ⚠️ An important distinction from the flag: The coat of arms has a more official meaning and is not intended for free use by citizens. It is forbidden, for example, to place it on business cards of individuals who are not civil servants.
