A national emblem is an emblem or seal that is reserved for use by a nation state or multi-national state as a symbol of that nation. Many nations have a seal or emblem in addition to a national flag. The design of a national emblem is different to that of a national coat of arms which should follow the rules of heraldry and so contain a shield (escutcheon) in the center. Some emblem designs can be used one-to-one for a seal.[1]
Other national symbols, such as national birds, trees, flowers, etc., are listed at lists of national symbols.
