On This Day - May 29th 1917

Tasmania's coat of arms is approved by Royal Warrant from King George V. 

Tasmania is a small island state located off the southeast coast of Australia. Originally named Van Diemen's Land by Abel Tasman in 1642, Tasmania is the second oldest state in Australia to have been settled.

Unlike the other states and territories of Australia, Tasmania does not have an official animal emblem, although the Tasmanian devil is the "unofficial" emblem of the state. The extinct Tasmanian Tiger, or Thylacine, also symbolises the state on the Tasmanian coat of arms. The coat of arms features a shield supported by two thylacines. On the shield are wheat, apples, hops and sheep, all symbols of Tasmania's main rural industries. Above the shield is a red lion holding a pick and shovel, which symbolises the rich mining history of the state. The Latin motto underneath is Ubertas et fidelitas, meaning 'Fertility and Faithfulness'.

Tasmania's coat of arms was approved by Royal Warrant from King George V on 29 May 1917, and proclaimed in 1919.
