Coat Of Arms Of New Zealand
The coat of arms of New Zealand ( mi, Te Tohu Pakanga o Aotearoa) is the heraldic symbol representing the South Pacific island country of New Zealand. Its design reflects New Zealand's history as a bicultural nation, with a European female figure on one side and a Māori rangatira (chief) on the other.

The initial coat of arms was granted by warrant of King George V on 26 August 1911, and the current version was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956.

History Until 1911, New Zealand used the same royal coat of arms as the United Kingdom. The provinces of New Zealand used their own arms. With the evo ...
