Polish Coat of Arms

The Polish Coat of Arms features a white (silver) crown atop a red shield, with a white (silver) eagle, known as the White Eagle, displaying a golden beak and talons. This emblem symbolizes Poland’s sovereignty and historic statehood, dating back to the Middle Ages. The White Eagle is a national icon representing strength, independence, and the nation’s resilience. Variations of the coat of Arms include different regal or regional symbols, but the core image remains a key symbol of Polish identity and heritage, used by government institutions and in official contexts.
