The Saint Lucian coat of arms was designed by Sydney Bagshaw in 1967 and was adopted during pre-independence at the time of internal self-government. The national motto (the land, the people, the light) is found at the bottom.

This symbol represents the official seal of the Government of Saint Lucia. The following is a brief description of the coat of arms.

  • Tudor Rose - England
  • Fleur de lis - France
  • Stool - Africa
  • Torch - Beacon to light the path
  • Saint Lucia amazon - the national bird
