Coat of arms of Jersey

Coat of arms of Jersey
Coat of arms of Jersey.

The coat of arms of Jersey is a red shield with three gold lions (traditionally known as leopards) passant guardant (les trois léopards in French). It derives from the seal granted to the island’s bailiff by Edward I in 1279.[1] In 1907, Edward VII sanctioned the claimed usage by the island of the arms. [2]

It is very similar to the arms of Normandy, Guernsey and England. Since 1981, the arms have been included in the flag of Jersey.
