President of Suriname, 1975
The Presidential Standard is based on the National flag of Suriname, with superimposed on it a white panel with the state arms: a shield displaying a Dutch sailing ship (representing commerce), a palm tree (representing agriculture) and a diamond (representing mining) with the yellow star, representing the unity of all ethnic groups. It is supported by two Amerindians in traditional attire. On a scroll is the National motto, in Latin, “Justitia, Pietas, Fides” (Justice, Piety, Faith).
