Coat of arms of the British Indian Ocean Territory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coat of Arms of the British Indian Ocean Territory were granted in 1990.
The arms consist of a shield bearing the Union Flag in the top quarter, a palm tree and St Edward's Crown in the middle half, with three white wavy lines representing the ocean in the bottom quarter. The two supporters are turtles, representing the local native wildlife. The crest consists of a crown and a castle bearing the territory's flag.
The motto is In tutela nostra Limuria, in English, is in our charge.
A banner of the arms serves as the Flag of the British Indian Ocean Territory.
