The Coat Of Arms of Antigua And Barbuda was designed in 1966 by Gordon Christopher. The symbolism of the arms is more complex than that found on the Flag Of Antigua And Barbuda , but many elements are similar. At the top of the Coat of Arms is a , Sugarcane , and Yucca plant. Supporting the shield is a pair of deer representing the wildlife of the islands. The design on the shield shows the sun, also found on the flag, rising from a blue and white sea. The sun symbolises a new beginning, and the black background represents the Africa n origins of many of the nations's citizens. At the bottom of the shield, in front of the sea, sits a stylised sugar mill. At the bottom is a scroll upon which is written the national motto: "Each endeavouring, all achieving". EXTERNAL LINKS
