Coat of arms of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The coat of arms of the Caribbean island state of St. Vincent & the Grenadines was the then British colony awarded on 29 November 1912, adopted by the sovereign state in a slightly different form after the independence in 1979 as the national coat.

It shows in a gold-rimmed plate, two light blue, roman dressed women on a green lawn to sides of a golden, covered with an eye altar. The woman on the ( heraldic ) right side ( as the personification of peace ) holding an olive branch over the altar, the left of the altar, kneeling second wife (as personified justice ) holding a golden bit into the fire. Above the shield over a green and silver Helmwulst a cotton plant, under the shield the state motto on a silver front, rear red ribbon in black: Pax et Justitia (Latin, " Peace and Justice" ). Behind the emblem is a green, structured sheet.

The colonial coat of arms pointed to the altar no eye but two oppressive hands. Even the left in the background sheet is missing in this coat of arms. The content of Coat of Arms dates back to an older colonial badge, which was later than 1900 for the colony in use.
