Coat of arms of Canada

The Royal Coat of Arms of Canada was on 21 november 1921 created by George V as the Arms or Ensigns Armorial of the Dominion of Canada.

Canada's coat of arms is similar to the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. Three of the four quarters in the Canadian coat of arms are the same as in the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. These are 15-1 England, quarter 2 and quarter 3 Scotland Ireland. The 4th quarter is the old coat of arms of France and in the thyroid footing a esdoorntak with 3 leaves. The maple leaf is also found in the crest held by a lion.

The two mottos are A Mari usque ad Mare (Latin: from sea to sea), and the motto of the order of Canada, Desiderantes meliorem patriam (Latin: seeking a better country).
