Kingdom of Libya was used from 1952 to 1969.

Libya under Gaddafi (1969–2011) In 1970, Libya adopted as its coat of arms the
Eagle of Saladin, which had become a symbol of Arab nationalism following its prominence in the
Egyptian revolution of 1952, after which it was used in the coat of arms of
Egypt, the
United Arab Republic,
Yemen,
Iraq, and
Palestine. In 1972, Libya's participation in the
Federation of Arab Republics led both it and Egypt to abandon the Eagle of Saladin, and to adopt as their coats of arms the
Hawk of Quraish, the emblem of the tribe of
Muhammad used by
Syria, which became the coat of arms of the Federation. On Libya's exit from the Federation in 1977 followed by its adaption of Gaddafi's system of
Jamahiriya, the Hawk of the Quraish was retained, but modified to reflect the new all green flag that Libya also adopted at that time. The hawk was also changed to face in the other direction. File:Coat_of_arms_of_Libya-1970.svg|
