State Emblem of Kyrgyzstan

Emblem

— one of the official symbols of a sovereign state, its emblem. It reflects the socio-political idea of the country. The state emblem is placed on the buildings of the highest state authorities, state institutions, embassies of the Kyrgyz Republic, in courtrooms, and is depicted on seals and forms of state documentation, on securities, coins, border posts, etc.

The emblem of Kyrgyzstan was approved on January 14, 1994. Its authors are artist Aseyin Abdrayev and police general Sadyrbek Dubanaev.

On the dark blue background of the State Emblem of the Kyrgyz Republic, a golden radiant sun rises above the snowy peaks of Ala-Too, symbolizing our young state, and the blue Issyk-Kul, which seems to embody the moral purity, pride, and patriotism of the inhabitants of Kyrgyz land.

Supporting the mountains, the sun, and the lake with its mighty wings is the White Saker Falcon of the great Manas — the embodiment of national pride, independence, and the free spirit of the Kyrgyz people. That is why the main award of the country — the sign of the national hero of Kyrgyzstan is named “Ak-Shumkar” (“White Saker Falcon”).

On both sides, the composition is framed by golden ears of wheat and white cotton bolls. The inscription on the emblem reads “Кыргыз Республикасы” (“Kyrgyz Republic”).
