Origin/meaning

The present State Emblem was adopted in 1976. It was identical to the previous emblem, used since 1971, with the addition of the name of the country in Arabic: الجمهورية الجزائرية الديمقراطية الشعبية .

The star and crescent are the symbols of Islam, and were already present in the older arms.

The hand of Fatima, a traditional symbol of the region, appears in front of the Atlas Mountains, below a rising sun representing a new era. The buildings stand for industry and the plants for agriculture.
