Coat of arms of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia featured six torches surronded by wheat and burning together in one flame; this represented brotherhood and unity of the six republics forming the ex-Yugoslavia: Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. The date imprinted is November 29 1943 - on this date the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia met in Jajce on its second meeting and established the basis for post-war organisation of the country, establishing a federation (this date was celebrated as Republic Day after the Second World War).
