Coat of arms of the British Leeward Islands

since 1909

The badge of the British Leeward Islands was adopted in the 1870s.

The Royal arms on the top of the badge was a non-classical design.

A coat of arms consisting of five badges was adopted in 1909. The five badges represent the five "provinces" of the Leeward Islands: Antigua and Barbuda top left, Dominica top right, Montserrat bottom left, British Virgin Islands bottom right. In the centre, were two badges joined together, representing Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla. On the left is Saint Christopher and on the right is Nevis, while Anguilla is missing but can be found in the flag.
