Coat of arms of the Dominican Republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The coat of arms of the Dominican Republic features a shield supported by an olive branch (left) and a palm branch (right); above the shield, a blue ribbon displays the national motto: Dios, Patria, Libertad (God, Fatherland, Liberty). Below the shield, the words Republica Dominicana appear on a red ribbon (this red ribbon is sometimes depicted having its tips pointing upward). In the center of the shield is a Bible opened to the Gospel of John, 8:32, which reads Y la verdad os hará libres (And the truth shall set you free), with a small cross above it, and on each side flanked by three spears, two of them holding Dominican banners.

The coat of arms appears in the center of the flag of the Dominican Republic.
