The current coat of arms of Morocco (formally; the royal coat of arms) was introduced 14 August1957. It was developed by the graphic artists Gauthier and Hainaut and shows a green pentagram on a red background before the Atlas Mountains and a rising sun. The royal crown is on top. Two lions function as the holders of the shield. The ribbon underneath, the Arabic inscription is written: (Arabic: إن تنصروا الله ينصركم) (If you assist God, he will assist you) (Quran, Verse 7, Sura 47).
