The design depicts a shield divided into four quarters of a cross, referring
to the Island’s name, because of its discovery on a Sunday. In first quarter on
the top left, you see the black volcanic soil of Dominica supporting a coconut
tree, and in the fourth quarter on bottom right a fully developed banana stem
bearing a mature bunch of fruits is shown. Our Crapaud, the second quarter,
while in the third quarter, a canoe under sail glides on the Caribbean Sea. A
wreath of silver and blue bears the crest, a golden lion standing upon a black
rocky mount with the Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperialis) as supporters.
The Coat of Arms of Dominica bears the inscription “Apres Bondie C’est La Ter”,
(after God the Earth), which emphasizes the importance of the soil in the island
with its economy based on agriculture.
