| Adopted | 1 October 2004 |
Georgia's coat of arms was adopted on 1 October 2004. It is partially based on the medieval arms of the Georgian royal house of Bagrationi.
It has two lions rampant as supporters. They held a shield with Saint George, Georgia's patron saint, slaying the dragon. The shield is surmounted with the royal crown of Georgia.
Motto: Strength is in Unity (Dzala Ertobashia, written in the Mkhedruli script of the Georgian alphabet, ძალა ერთობაშია).
Former coat of arms
This coat of arms was in use by the Democratic Republic of Georgia throughout its existence in 1918-1921. Restored in 1991, it was replaced by the current coat of arms in 2004.
