The coat of arms of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt represents its historical origins. The land area was formed out of the former Prussian Province of Saxony and the German Free State of Anhalt. The upper part of the coat of arms represents the province of Saxony with its green crancelin while the lower half shows the bear of the Free State of Anhalt. [1] [2]
