What does the coat of arms of Slovakia mean?
The double (patriarchal) cross symbolizes the Christian cross, which has been used since the ninth century in Byzantium and was brought to Slovakia by Cyril and Methodius.
The hills on the coat of arms symbolize the Tatra, Fatra, and Matra mountains. It was the mountains that protected Slovaks from bad weather and sheltered them from enemy attacks. Their images formed the basis of many legends and tales. Moreover, they are mentioned in the lyrics of the national anthem.
The Slovaks, "children of the Tatras", look for and find in the mountains the life force of their people. This motif is reflected in the national coat of arms, flag and anthem of the Slovak Republic.
The silver double cross (the use of silver and white colors is equivalent) on a blue trefoil on a red early Gothic shield and in a red field became the state emblem of the independent Slovak Republic and also part of the white-blue-red national flag on January 1, 1993.
The pendant is made of stainless steel 3mm thick and 1 inch (25.4mm) in diameter by removing material around the letters, creating a 3-D relief and then hand polishing the outside of the piece to a mirror finish.
