Adopted 1947

The Coat of Arms of Socialist Republic of Serbia was adopted the same time as the flag, on 17 January 1947 and was designed by Đorđe Andrejević Kun.

The traditional shield of arms of Serbia with 4 fire steels (but without the cross). The cross which has always been included shield of arms was removed for ideological reasons of socialist atheism. It was placed above a rising sun with a cog wheel symbolizing the workers and surrounded with a golden wreath of wheat and oak leaves, oak being a sacred Serbian tree. A red ribbon with dates 1804 and 1941 which refer to the dates of the first Serbian uprising against the Ottomans and the national uprising against the axis powers in the Second World War.

The socialist coat of arms remained in official use long after the dissolution of socialist Yugoslavia and after the red star was removed in 1992 from the flag. The National Assembly recommended usage of the old symbols of Serbia on August 17, 2004.
