Various national symbols are represented on the Coat of Arms. The National Flag is reproduced on the shield. The two animals and the plant on the Coat of Arms are used symbolically. The African Fish Eagle has excellent vision

and is thus a symbol of the farsightedness of our country's leaders. The Oryx antelope is renowned for its courage, elegance and pride.

The Welwitschia mirabilis, a unique desert plant, is a fighter for survival and is therefore a symbol of our traditions and the diamond shapes to our natural resources.
