History
The current national coat of arms are based off the badge of the Pepper Coast colony, which depicted a palm tree over a wavy field of white and blue, and was first adopted in 1858. After independence in 1960, the badge of the Pepper Coast influenced the central shield of the new coat of arms, with the addition of two Batswedan flags flanking the shield, a golden sun above, and a red star superposed on the central element. This design was radically changed after the First Batswedan Civil War in 1969, when the military-led Government for National Unity adopted an emblem depicting an eagle with the Batswedan shield in the centre. In 1982, with the declaration of the Kingdom of Batsweda, a royal coat of arms was created, with the shield supported by two lions, and the addition of a mantle and eastern-style crown.
After the Second Batswedan Civil War and the signing of the Jakasse Peace Accords in 2002, the Batswedan coat of arms from the People's Republic was re-adopted, with the red star on the original design being removed. Since its adoption, this design has remained the current coat of arms of the Republic of Batsweda.
