Coat of arms of Tajik SSR until 1991

The coat of arms of Tajikistan is a modified version of the original coat of arms of the Tajik SSR that was in use until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Like other post-Soviet republics whose arms do not predate the October Revolution, the current arms retains some components of the Soviet one.

The crown at the centre of the logo is the same as the Tajik national flag, and refers to the Persian word Taj, meaning crown, from which the name of the Tajiki people is said to be derived, according to one version.

The base of the logo contains a representation of a book and the Pamir Mountains.

The logo is flanked by cotton on one side and wheat on the other, as well a banner of the national red-white-green colors of Tajikistan is wrapped around the cotton and wheat.
