COA of Mongolia (since 1992)

The official coat of arms of Mongolia was adopted in 1992 following the fall of the communist government. The outer rim features a tumen nusan, symbolizing eternity, surrounding a circular blue field, symbolizing the sky. On the centre of the field is a combination of the soyombo and the treasured steed, symbolizing Mongolia's independence, sovereignty, and spirit. Above the field is a chandmani, which in Mongolian folklore grants wishes, and symbolizes past, present, and future. Below the central emblem is a green mountain range, with the wheel of destiny at the center. On the bottom of the mountain range & wheel is a khadag, a Mongolian welcome scarf.

From 1960 to 1991, the People's Republic of Mongolia used a coat of arms with a very similar shape, but several differing elements. Instead of the Wind Horse, a horseman on a normal horse is shown. In the background, the sun rises above mountains. The buddhist symbols are replaced by symbols of socialism. A gearwheel stands for industrialization, sheafes around the perimeter stand for the farming class, and the top featured a red star with the socialist version of the Soyombo. Along the bottom, a blue-red banderole is placed in front of the gearwheel, with the letters "БНМАУ", der Abbreviation for Бүгд Найрамдах Монгол Ард Улс (Mongolian People's Republic). The Peoples Republic of Mongolia (Mongolian: Бугд Найрамдах Монгол Ард Улс (БНМАУ)) was a communist state in central Asia which existed between 1924 and 1992 and changed to a capitalist country, Mongolia, in 1992. ...

Before 1961, the coat of arms was still missing most of the socialist symbols. The horseman carried a long lasso pole, and the heads of four types of herding animals were shown on the sides. A red banderole at the bottom carried the name of the country in the traditional Mongolian alphabet between 1940 and 1941, and the cyrillic abbreviation after that. Lariat redirects here. ...
