Summary

Description
English: Flag of Iran featuring the official Lion and Sun emblem (1970s), vectorized from a pre-1979 Iranian birth certificate cover. Initial vectorization of the emblem was assisted by vectorizer.ai; substantial manual corrections, symmetry adjustments, and redesign of details (including the depiction of the lion holding a sword) were carried out by the uploader. The tricolour flag layout follows the historical Iranian flag design of the same period.

This coat of arms was drawn based on its blazon which – being a written description – is free from copyright. Any illustration conforming with the blazon of the arms is considered to be heraldically correct. Thus several different artistic interpretations of the same coat of arms can exist. Sometimes, the design officially used by the armiger is likely to be protected by copyright, in which case it cannot be used here.
Individual representations of a coat of arms, drawn from a blazon, may have a copyright belonging to the artist, but are not necessarily derivative works.
