The coat of arms of Brazil was created on November 19, 1889, four days after Brazil became a republic. The coat of arms consists of the central emblem surrounded by coffee (at the left) and tobacco (at the right) branches, which were important crops in Brazil at that time. In the blue circle in the center, the Southern Cross ((ポルトガル語:Cruzeiro do Sul)) can be seen. The ring of 27 stars around it represents Brazil's 26 states and the Federal District. The blue ribbon contains the official name of Brazil (República Federativa do Brasil — Federative Republic of Brazil) in its first line. Prior to 1964, this line contained the previous official name, Estados Unidos do Brasil — United States of Brazil. In the second line, the date of the federative republic's establishment (November 15, 1889) is written. ==National arms== The National Arms of the Republic were instituted by Decree No. 4, with alteration made by Law No. 5443 of 28 May 1968 (Annex No. 8) The making of the National Arms should conform to the proportions of 15 units of height by 14 of width and take into account the following provisions: *I - The round shield will be composed of a sky-blue () field containing five silver () stars arranged in the form of the Southern Cross, with the bordure () of the field outlined in gold and charged with silver stars equal to the stars existing in the National Flag (Modification made by Law No. 8421 of 11 May 1972). *II - The shield will be placed on a star parted gyronny of ten pieces, green () and gold, bordered by two strips, the inner red () and the outer gold. *III - All placed on a sword in pale, pommelled gold, hilted blue (), except for the center part, which is red () and contains a silver star, all upon a crown formed by a branch of coffee fruited on the dexter side and another of flowering tobacco on the sinister side, both in proper colors, tied blue (), the whole assembled on a splendor of gold, the contours of which form a star of 20 points 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coat of arms of Brazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
