First revision

On August 25, 1938 (according to other sources - July 28, 1939) in this description, the words "and Armenian" were replaced by the words "and Russian" and the coat of arms of the Nakhchivan ASSR began to differ from the coat of arms of the Azerbaijan SSR by the name of the Autonomous Republic in Azerbaijani and Russian languages on lower tape interceptions.

Second revision

In accordance with the Law of the Azerbaijan SSR "On the Transfer of Azerbaijani Writing from the Latin to the Russian Alphabet" adopted on July 11, 1939, the writing of the Azerbaijani language from January 1, 1940 was translated from the Latin alphabet into the alphabet on the basis of the Russian alphabet, in which the inscriptions in the coat of arms of Nakhchivan was changed

Third revision

In connection with the change in the Azerbaijani language of the word "autonomous" since 1945, the abbreviation "MSSR" instead of the abbreviation "ASSR" was depicted instead of the abbreviation "MSSR".

This version of the emblem has not changed after the adoption in 1978 of the new Constitution of the Nakhchivan ASSR.
