The '''coat of arms of Freice''' is a national symbol of the [[Freice|Country of Freice]], used alongside and in conjunction with the national flag. It was adopted in July 2021 following the 2021 Freician coup d'état.
==History==
The coat of arms replaced the earlier [[Seal of Freice]], which was adopted in 1980. The adoption of new national emblems reflected the adoption of a new political system and political identity for the country.
 
The design was created by the [[Common Wealth Party|Common Wealth Party of Freice]] prior to the coup, and drew on both traditional socialist heraldic designs as well as Freician heraldry. The combination reflected the party's adherence to both socialism and communitarianism, as well as Freician nationalism and, to a lesser extent, traditionalism. The actual designer is unknown.
 
The coat of arms was adopted by the [[Nuejel|provisional Nuejel]] on 21 July 2021 through the Flags and Emblems Act 2021, which abolished the emblem previously in use and provided official recognition of the coat of arms design in law.
 
==Description and symbolism==
The coat of arms features a traditional Freician shield traditionally used by tribal warriors in the north and west of the country, containing a blue field on which is placed two shaking hands superimposed over a sun. The hands represent the harmony between the past and the future and the continued respect paid to the past and to Freician customs and traditions alongside the adoption of modern values and technology. The sun represents the climate of Freice and the sun's historic importance in Freician rituals. The field (which is the same colour as the field on the Freician flag) represents the ocean.
 
The shield is supported by two Freician flags and two Red Flags, highlighting both the national culture and the political culture that is embraced on the island. A green oak wreath wraps around the bottom of the shield, representing peace as the foundation of Freician society, as well as a verbena bonariensis, the national flower of Freice.
