After independance in 1992 Macedonia retained the
coat of arms adopted in 1946 (by the Act on the Coat of Arms of the People's
Republic of Macedonia, adopted by the People's Assembly of the People's Republic
of Macedonia on its second extraordinary session held on July 27th,
1946, later on altered by article 8 of the Constitution of the Socialist
Republic of Macedonia). as the emblem of the People's Republic of Macedonia
within Yugoslavia. A new law is to be proclaimed.
The coat of arms is described this way:
The coat-of-arms is composed by a double bent garland of ears
of wheat, tobacco and poppy, tied by a ribbon with the pattern of a
traditional costume. In the centre of such a circular room there are
mountains, rivers, lakes and the sun; where the ears join there is a red
five-pointed star. All this represents "the
wealthy of our country, the struggle and the freedom".In forefront of the coat of arms is the Šar mountain, and the waters of
Ohrid lake. The Coat is bounded with wheat and poppy plant laterally, and on
the basis with a Macedonian national motif, often found on the Macedonian
national outfits (dresses).
