Coat of arms of Antilla

The coat of arms of Antilla is the heraldic achievement of the Commonwealth of Antilla, one of two national symbols alongside the flag of Antilla. It dates to the state's 1763 establishment as a colony of the British Empire. The coat of arms remained virtually unchanged for two centuries, being slightly modified following Antilla's 1963 transition to a republican form of government—specifically: the crown (which represented monarchy or the British House of Windsor specifically) was removed from the crest; the escutcheon was updated by replacing the quartered field of the arms of England, Scotland and Ireland with the pattern and colours of the new national flag, charged with a half-size shield bearing the quartered arms of the three principal isles of Marquesa, Parmesa and Santa Maria; the two supporters (a flamingo on the right and a serpent on the left) traded positions; and the Latin motto was changed from non ducor, duco (I am not led, I lead) to vincit qui se vincit (he conquers who conquers himself).
