Coat of arms of Laos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laos coat of arms 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" and announce on the right "Unity and Prosperity."
The coat of arms was modified in the beginning of the 1990s. The existing Communist symbols red star as well as the hammer and sickle were replaced with the national shrine at Pha That Luang. See the Emblem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
