Summary
| Description |
English:
The coat of arms Banjul represent the heraldic board of the English form divided across on 3 unequal parts of white, red and black colours. Above on a white background there is a plotting of two half moons and one cross between them. These signs act as symbols of two most widespread religions in Gambia - Islam and Christianity. More low on a red background two guns (a symbol of protection of territory) are represented. And at the very bottom on the black background which has been cut by white strips, symbolising waves, there is a stylised plotting of fish.
Deutsch:
"Im silbernen (weißen) Schildhaupt zwischen zwei grünen Halbmonden ein rotes Lazaruskreuz (Kleeblattkreuz), in der Mitte über einen silbern (weiß) gefassten blauen Wellenbalken zwei rechtsgerichtete silberne (weiße) Vorderlader darauf je eine Kanone in gleicher Farbe, im schwarzen Schildfuß ein silberner (weißer) Fisch.“ Das Wappen entstand noch in der britischen Kolonialzeit. Halbmonde und Lazaruskreuz symbolisieren die zwei Religionen Islam und Christentum, die Kanonen stehen für den Schutz und Sicherung der Stadt und der Wellenbogen steht für den Fluss Gambia mit seinem Fischreichtum (Fisch).
