Coat of arms of Jamaica
National coat of arms of Jamaica
The coat of arms of Jamaica is a heraldic symbol used to represent Jamaica. The coat of arms is a legacy design, with its earliest iteration having been granted for the colony of Jamaica in 1661 under Royal Warrant. The original design was created by William Sancroft, then Archbishop of Canterbury. The present design was adopted after Jamaican independence in 1962, with slight modification.
