Coat of arms of Chad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coat of Arms of Chad was adopted in 1970. The center has a shield with wavy blue lines, with a sun rising over it. The shield is supported by a goat and a lion. Below the shield is a medal and a scroll with the national motto, Unité Travail Progrès (Unity Work Progress in English), in French.
The wavy lines on the shield are representative of Lake Chad, and the sun rising over it represents a new beginning. The goat on the left represents the northern part of the nation, while the southern part is represented by the lion. Dangling from the bottom of the shield is the medal for the National Order of Chad.
There also exists an emblem of Chad, seal shaped with a tribal girl, rendered in black-and-white.
