Osmanlı Devlet Arması (Bronz Kaplama)
The coat of arms of the Ottoman Empire or the coat of arms of the Ottoman Empire was prepared for the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century by being influenced by the decorations in the UK tradition. Previously, sultan's tughra was used as a state insignia. As a result of the research carried out in the Ottoman archives, the following information was found about the construction of the coat of arms: During the Crimean War between the Ottoman Empire and Russia , the Légion d'honneur medal given to Sultan Abdülmecid by the French activated England, which was trying to establish close relations with the Ottoman Empire. Queen Victoria of England presents the Order of the Knee Bound to the Ottoman Sultan in November 1856 in return for the order given by France. King III in 1346. There is an application in the tradition of the Order of the Knee Bound, which was revealed by Edward : The coat of arms of the person or the monarchs who received the order is hung on the wall of the Church of Saint George in Windsor Palace in London. However, there is no coat of arms of the Ottoman Sultan. Thereupon, Queen Victoria commissioned a coat of arms specialist named Prince Charles Young to design coats of arms for the Ottoman Empire. A translator named Etyen Pizani assists Young, who comes to Istanbul and conducts research.
The British designer prepares a coat of arms by emphasizing the sultan's turban, the crest, the crescent-star flag and the tughra. Sultan Abdülmecid also liked the coat of arms drawings that were prepared and sent to Istanbul in a year. The coat of arms of the Ottoman Empire formed in this way takes its place in the Church of Saint George of England. The final version of the Ottoman decoration was given to Sultan II on April 17, 1882. It was put into effect by Abdulhamid. There are two flags inside the Order of the Ottoman State. The flag with a crescent and a star on a red background symbolizes Anatolia and other Asian states, and the flag on a green background symbolizes Rumelia. The scales represent the Ottoman justice, and the books on the scales represent the Ottoman law books and the Qur'an, which are the sources of justice. The main reason for the collective use of weapons in the Ottoman coat of arms is the concern of reflecting the strong Ottoman army with all its elements. (Source: Wikipedia)
