Coat of arms of the Collectivity of Saint Martin

The coat of arms of Saint Martin is the official coat of the Collectivity of Saint Martin. It features palm leaves in front of a sun to symbolize the tropical climate, a pelican symbolizing the fauna of the island, a hibiscus symbolizing the flora, a ship symbolizing the tourism-related boating and the words "Collectivité de Saint Martin" on the top[1]. The commune that existed until February 22, 2007, used similar arms but with the legend "Ville de Saint Martin".[2] [3]
