A national coat of arms, often known as a state emblem, is the state's most visible symbol. Consider how the Coat of Arms is endorsed on all of the significant events in your life: birth, marriage, death, and school certificates, as well as your passport. It's on one of the sides of your tiniest coin. Seeing a plaque of it on the embassy when out of the nation signifies a home away from home.
The coat of arms is also a key component of the Great Seal, which is historically regarded as the state's highest insignia. The President of Zimbabwe, by Statutory Instrument no.636 of September 1981, Armorial Bearings of Zimbabwe, formally accepted the Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe on September 12, 1981.
On the left and right, two kudus are depicted, each standing on top of an earthly mound made up of wheat stalks, a pile of cotton, and a head of maize. There is also a flag with the Zimbabwe national slogan at their feet (Unity, Freedom, Work). The shield is green in color, with 14 waves of contrasting white and blue wavy lines at the top (chief argent), and a depiction of the ancient Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe in the middle. An agricultural hoe (on the left) and an AK-47 automatic weapon (on the right) are both linked with twisted green and gold silk strips behind the shield. The red star and the Great Zimbabwe Bird, which appear on the national flag, are featured on the crest.
