- The crown symbolizes the system
of monarchy.

placed symbolizes the Hashemite throne. Its scarlet
color represents sacrifice, while the white inner
background symbolizes purity.
- The two flags are the flags of
the Great Arab Revolt.
- The eagle in the center of the
coat of arms symbolizes power, might and loftiness.
The eagle is perched on the globe, and his wings
touch the two flags of the Great Arab Revolt.
- a - The blue color of the
globe symbolizes the spread of Islam across the
world.
b - The bronze shield in front of the globe
represents the defense of truth and right in the
world.
- The spears, swords, bows and
arrows are traditional Arab weapons.
- Below the shield to the left are
three branches of wheat, and to the right is a palm
branch.
- Stretching down from between the
wheat and palm branches is the highest Jordanian
medal, the decorative order of al-Nahda.
- A yellow cordon hanging from the
ribbon of the decorative order of al-Nahda
consisting of three parts on which the following
phrases are embroidered:
- On the right: “Abdullah II
bin Al Hussein bin Aoun”
(Aoun, the great grandfather of Al Sharif Al Hussein
bin Ali)
- In the middle:
“King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan”
- On the left:
