Information about effigy: Coat of Arms of Rwanda

Coat of Arms of Rwanda

The Coat of Arms of Rwanda is the national symbol of the country; the current design was introduced in 2001 to match the colour scheme of the new national flag.

The details of the Coat of Arms are laid out in Article 3(2) of the Constitution of Rwanda.

At centre, it displays a traditional basket, surrounded by the central tribal devices: a stem of sorghum on the left, and a branch of a coffee tree on the right, surmounted on a cog wheel with the sun with its rays above. These are protected by two typical Rwandan shields, one on the right and one on the left. The design is encircled by a rope, tied below in a square knot.

On a ribbon above, REPUBULIKA Y'U RWANDA (Republic of Rwanda); on a ribbon below, the motto UBUMWE · UMURIMO · GUKUNDA IGIHUGU (Unity, Work, Patriotism in Kinyarwanda - the official Rwandan language).
