The shield is composed of the Lion and the Sun symbol in first quarter , in the second quarter the Faravahar representing Zoroastrianism, in the third quarter the curved blade of a Imam Ali "Zulfiqar" sword representing Shia Islam, and the Simurgh in the fourth quarter. Overall in the center is a circle depicting Mount Damavand with a rising sun, the symbol of the Pahlavi dynasty. The shield is crowned by the Pahlavi crown and surrounded by the chain of the Order of Pahlavi. Two lions rampant regardant, holding scimitars supports the coat of arms on either side. Under the whole device is the motto: "Mara dad farmud va Khod Davar Ast" ("Justice He bids me do, as He will judge me" or, alternatively, "He gave me power to command, and He is the judge").
