Emblem of Afghanistan. The national emblem of Afghanistan has appeared in some form on the flag of Afghanistan since the inception of that nation.
The
latest incarnation of the coat of arms has the added inscription of the
shahadah in Arabic at the top. Below it is the image of a mosque with a
mehrab that is facing Mecca with a prayer mat inside. Attached to the
mosque are two flags, taken to stand for flags of Afghanistan. Beneath
the mosque is an inscription that states the name of the nation. Around
the mosque is a garland. The emblem of Afghanistan bears the Islamic
calendar year 1298 (1919 in the Gregorian calendar), the year
Afghanistan gained independence from the British Empire.
