Coat of arms of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Russia

The coat of arms of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in the Russian Far East[1][2] has the figure of a Amur tiger turned to the right toward a viewer, which symbolises the unusual history and development of the Oblast. The aquamarine background represents the colour of the vast Far Eastern taiga, hills, and meadows in the region.[3]

In 2009, the Central Bank of Russia issued 10 million ten-ruble coins dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Jewish autonomous region. On the reverse of the coin is the coat of arms of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. On the ring around the circumference are inscriptions: at the top is "Russian Federation" and at the bottom the "Jewish Autonomous Oblast".[4]
