You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''coat of arms of Georgia''' is one of the [[national symbol]]s of [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. The [[coat of arms]] is partially based on the medieval arms of the Georgian [[Bagrationi|royal house]] and features [[Saint George]], the traditional [[patron saint]] of Georgia. In addition to St. George, the original proposal included additional [[heraldic]] elements found on the royal seal, such as the [[seamless robe of Jesus]], but this was deemed excessively religious and was not incorporated into the final version.<ref>საქართველოს პარლამენტი, ''"საქართველოს პარლამენტის განათლების, მეცნიერების, კულტურისა და სპორტის კომიტეტის გასვლითი სხდომის ოქმი #14"'', მაისი-ოქტომბერი 2004</ref>

==Official description==
''The State coat of arms of Georgia is a heraldic shield, on its pupure field is depicted a [[Argent|silver]] rider on a silver horse and with a silver spear ending with a [[Or (heraldry)|golden]] cross, Saint George with a golden halo, striking a silver dragon. The shield is crowned with the Iverian (Georgian) crown. The supporters are two golden lions, standing on a compartment of stylized grape vine ornament. The compartment is embellished with a silver-purple motto ribbon (face is silver, back is purple). On the silver field of the ribbon with black Mkhedruli letters is written the motto "ძალა ერთობაშია" ("Strength is in unity"). On the ribbon, in the beginning and the end of the inscription, are depicted purpure heraldic crosses.''<ref name="EMBLEM"/>

Although the shield is officially described as purpure, it is often depicted as red.

==Former coats of arms==
[[File:Constitution of Georgia (Country).jpg|thumb|The 1990&ndash;2004 coat of arms on the Georgian constitution]]
* '''1918&ndash;1921 and 1991&ndash;2004:'''
This coat of arms was in use by the [[Democratic Republic of Georgia]] throughout its existence in 1918–1921. Though the use of Saint George as Georgia's [[patron saint]] was by then a long tradition, there were some discussions about other possibilities, the major one being [[Amiran-Darejaniani|Amiran]], as the symbol of Georgia's fight for freedom from the [[Russian Empire]]. However, a decision was then made in favor of Saint George. Restored in a different guise in 1991, this coat of arms was replaced by the current one in 2004. Strictly speaking, this arms is a national emblem, as unlike the current arms, it does not follow [[Heraldry|heraldic]] rules.

* '''1801&ndash;1917:'''
Before 1917, when Georgia was part of the Russian Empire, the Georgian coat of arms appeared on the Greater Coat of Arms of the [[Russian Empire]], as part of the coat of arms of [[Caucasus]]. It showed then as the center [[inescutcheon]], and read as follows: 

''Or, with an image of Saint George Martyr the Victorious in complete armour Azur with a cross on his breast, with a flying cloak Gules, riding a horse [[Sable (heraldry)|Sable]] in full gallop, the latter covered with a horse cloth Gules, fringed Or, trampling upon a crawling serpent [[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], winged Sable, eyed and tongued Gules, whose head is pierced by the saint's spear Gules.''

* '''Before 1801:'''
Coats of arms were mostly those of the [[Bagrationi dynasty|Bagrationi]], who claimed to have [[King David]] among their ancestors, and included such elements as King David's [[Lyre|lyra]] and [[sling (weapon)|sling]], or the [[Holy Tunic]].
