Please, change info and image. The coat of arms has changed since 1993. No arms included. See the article in Greek. Thanks --Lemur12 17:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
The many variants of the coat of arms
I have seen many variants of the coat of arms. For example, a stamp from Guinea from 1969 (Scott# 540) has much the same form as the 1958-1984 wikipedia version except the scroll is red, yellow and green (an earlier stamp sheet from 1962 has the coat of arms but it is just in an outline form with no color). Whitney Smith in his two books (Flags through the Ages and Across the World and Flags and Arms Across the World) for the 1958-1984 arms has different colors. The shield is divided vertically red and yellow. The elephant, dove and scroll are all in green. Interestingly enough, there are a pair of stamps sheets from Guinea from 2022 which have a coat of arms depicted including a shield with vertical stripes of red, yellow and green with a yellow elephant. The scroll is yellow with black letters. There is no dove nor olive branch in this rendition. I am not sure how much oversight the government of Guinea had for this pair of stamps sheets from 2022 to know for certain if this rendition is in any way official. It would beneficial for this article if we could somehow verify how many of these variants were official. ElkandAcquerne (talk) 16:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
