About: Armorial of Indonesia

This is a list of emblems or coat of arms used in Indonesia. Indonesia is divided into 37 provinces, and each province is divided into regencies (kabupaten) and cities (kota). There are 416 regencies and 98 cities. Each province, regency, and city has its own emblem. Many of the emblems incorporate rice and cotton (for prosperity and the fifth principle of Pancasila, a remnant from socialist heraldry popular during the guided democracy era); symbols marking Pancasila in entirety; as well as symbols marking the date Indonesia declared its independence, 17 August 1945.
