emblem on red background. The red background signifies the
loyalty of the people of Kelantan. The white emblem stands
for the sanctity of the office of the Ruler.
The crown stands for the sovereignty of the Sultan. The two
spears and two keris signify the power of the Kelantan Malays.
The star and crescent signify Islam. The two cannons signify
that the State is ever ready to defend itself. The two deers
serve as reminders of the period in the State's history when
Che' Wan Kembang (or Che' Siti), queen of Kelantan (roughly
at the end of the 14th century), ordered the State's gold
coinage to be stamped with the design of these deers for which
she held such a deep affection. The State motto reads: "In
God, the Government of Kelantan Submit."
