History

The coat of arms of the Kirghizia under the Soviet Union and the independent Kyrgyzstan from 31 August 1991 to 3 January 1994.

Before independence from the USSR, Kyrgyzstan had a coat of arms similar to all other Soviet Republics. Like other post-Soviet republics whose arms do not predate the October Revolution, the current emblem retains some components of the Soviet one, in this case, the wheat, cotton, rising sun and the Tien Shan.
