Coat of arms of Lebanon
Unofficial emblem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, but were not in any type of use until the flag's modification in 21 September 1990.[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]
