The Saudi Arabian coat of arms (Arabic: شعار السعودية) is a coat of arms that was adopted in 1950.[1] According to the Saudi Constitution[2] it is made of two crossed swords with a palm tree in the open upper space between the blades. Each of the swords represents the two kingdoms which founded modern day Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Sultanate of Najd.
