Lesser Coat of Arms of Ukraine - Frosted Pint Glass 16oz

The Lesser Coat of Arms of Ukraine is a heraldic emblem that serves as an official symbol for the nation. The design features a shield with a gold background, bearing three silver trident symbols arranged in a vertical position and surrounded by a wreath made from stalks of wheat. Atop the shield stands a golden, open-winged, two-headed eagle with a crown adorned with four small balls and two crossed scepters, symbolizing both Kiev's historical connection to ancient Rus' and Ukraine's dual East Slavic heritage. The Lesser Coat of Arms is used in various official capacities, including seals, stamps, and military insignia, but not as the national flag or state emblem. It was adopted on January 24, 1997, replacing a similar design that had been in use since 1918.
