Coat of Arms of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Coat of arms of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia featured six torches surronded by wheat and burning together in one flame; this represented brotherhood and unity of the six republics forming the ex-Yugoslavia: Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. The date imprinted is November 29 1943 - on this date the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia met in Jajce on its second meeting and established the basis for post-war organisation of the country, establishing a federation (this date was celebrated as Republic Day after the Second World War).
