The shield is supported by two thylacines (Tasmanian tigers/wolves) with a motto beneath, Ubertas et Fidelitas, which is Latin for "Fertility and Faithfulness". It is surmounted by a red lion that also features on the State badge. The shield features significant examples of Tasmanian industry: a sheaf of wheat, hops, a ram and apples. It was officially granted by King George V in May 1917. The coat of arms of Tasmania is the official symbol of the Australian state and island of Tasmania. It has remained largely unchanged since then.
The badge was approved by the British Colonial office in 1875. This design reflects historical ties with England. The badge consists of a red lion within a white circle. Adopted 29th November 1875, the Tasmanian flag is the Blue Ensign with the State badge.
