Coat of arms of Lebanon

Unofficial coat of arms of the Lebanese Republic


Lebanon never officially adopted a coat of arms or emblem. However, various unofficial coats of arms have been used since the proclamation of independence on 7 December 1943.[1][5] The main variant consists of a red shield with a white bend sinister on which is placed a cedar tree. It is similar to the flag of Lebanon, with the exception of the Spanish fess on the flag being changed into a bend sinister.[1][6]

The seals of the Supreme Judicial Council of Lebanon,[7] of the President of the Republic,[8] and of the Republican Guard also feature variants of the unofficial coat of arms.[9]
