FEATURING
front: Ceylon coat of arms from 1942 to 1972, with "Ceylon" in English, Sinhala and Tamil

Lettering: இலங்கை ලංකා CEYLON
Translation: Ceylon Lanka

The emblem features a gold lion passant, holding a sword in its right fore paw (the same lion from the flag of Sri Lanka) in the centre on a maroon background surrounded by golden petals of a Blue Lotus the national flower of the country. This is placed on top of a traditional grain vase that sprouts sheaves of rice grains that circle the border reflecting prosperity.

The crest is the Dharmacakra, symbolizing the country's foremost place for Buddhism and just rule. Traditional Sinhalese heraldic symbols for the sun and the moon form the supporters.
