Obverse

Coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The coat of arms was adopted in 1998, replacing the previous design that had been in use since 1992 when Bosnia and Herzegovina gained independence. It follows the design of the national flag. The three pointed shield is used to symbolize the three major ethnic groups of Bosnia: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs, as well as allude to the shape of the country. The triangle represents the approximate shape of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The stars, representing Europe, are meant to be infinite in number and thus they continue from top to bottom.
