The Coat of Arms of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is an official emblem that symbolizes the unique identity and sovereignty of this self-declared state located on the northern part of the island of Cyprus. It consists of a shield divided into four quarters, each representing a different aspect of the country's history and culture. The central element is the crescent and star, a common symbol in Turkish heraldry. Above the shield, there's a scroll bearing the motto "Freedom, Peace, and Happiness." The design reflects the political aspirations and national identity of the Turkish Cypriot community within the context of a continuing dispute over the status of Cyprus as a whole.
