Adopted | 1704 AN |
The Shahanshah Emblem is the official coat of arms of the Çakar Empire. It was adopted in 1704 AN when Cakaristan was continued after the collapse of the Great Apollonian Empire. This emblem was one of the elements introduced as part of the Second Çakar Revolution, immediately after the Çakari succession crisis.
It replaces the earlier Emblem of Çakaristan. Nevertheless, this emblem is seen as a temporary coat of arms pending the acceptance of a permanent one. This emblem is then likely to be retained as a symbol for the Shahanshah.
Description
The Shahanshah emblem is taken from the coat of arms of the Emirate of Arbor. On that coat of arms, this emblem was placed in gold on a blue roundel, surrounded by a chain and crowned with a royal crown. The emblem is a detailed enlargement of this central piece and elevated to the symbol of the Shahanshah. The elements of this emblem:
- The eagle in the middle can be traced back to 1670 AN. Per Imperial Decree 1193, the Shirerithian noble title Duke of Brandenburg was bestowed by Kaiser Ayreon IV on Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy, later known as Mahmud bin Alsalam. That city, which became the capital of West Amokolia and later the Frankish Empire, had the eagle as its symbol. It was also used on the flag and coat of arms of the Frankish Empire. After its fall, the eagle became the symbol of the Emirate of Arbor.
- The heart of the cresent moon, also known as the seal of Çakaristan. This symbol appears not only on the coat of arms of Arbor but also as a roundel on the Emblem of Çakaristan. The colours of the heart have been adapted to the new colours of the flag. The crescent moon is associated with Craitism, the main religion in Çakaristan.
- The eagle is surrounded by a wreath of laurel and oak branches. In addition to the heraldic meanings - The laurel branch represents victory and virtue; and the oak branch represents power and authority - the branches stand for specific meanings:
- The laurel branch is one of the insignia for members of the Order of the Holy Lakes, especially members of the princely and royal classes. The current Shahanshah, Jaaguzan, is Prince among the Lakes by birthright.
- The oak branch is a reference to the Sessile oak (Quercus petraea), the national tree of Amokolia. This species of oak tree does not occur in Çakaristan; other species do occur, often with ovoid, toothed leaves. This is different from the Sessile oak that has lobed leaves.
- The crown is the crown of the Shahanshah. It is more elaborate than the representation on the roundel of Arbor. The extra feathers on the crown symbolise the grandeur of the Çakari Shahanshah.
Historic Emblem

This crowned seal stands in the centre on a red mantle, surrounded by nine golden cresent moons. The mantle is decorated with golden ornaments. All this is crested with a crown of a golden diadem with five hoops set of stars and carrying the cresent moon.
