This is the coat of arms of Sir Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby This is the coat of arms of Sir Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby. His motto is in Latin. The images represent what he stands for and who he is connected to politically.

Australia’s coat of arms: What do the images mean?

Emu and Kangaroo were chosen because they are the most well-known native Australian animals large enough to be positioned together in scale holding up the shield. They were chosen to symbolise a nation moving forward, based on the fact that neither animal can move backwards easily – i.e. symbolising progress.  The gold Commonwealth Star above the shield has seven points. One point represents each of the six states and the seventh point represents all the territories. There is a scroll displaying the word ‘Australia’ beneath the shield. The national floral emblem, golden wattle, forms the background. Australia’s national colours are green and gold. Green and gold are colours found in the Australian environment. Gold represents sand, grain, fleece and mining. Green represents trees and crops. Green and gold are also the colours of Australia’s national floral emblem, the golden wattle.
