Legacy
These arms are no longer used since the dissolution of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland on 31 December 1963, but the coat of arms of Zambia currently uses the same shield as used by Northern Rhodesia and in the coat of arms of Malawi there is a rising sun, albeit on a black field and a yellow, rather than red, lion passant in its shield. The current coat of arms of Zimbabwe has white palets on a blue (as opposed to black) background representing the importance of water and symbolic of the Victoria Falls.
