Coat of Arms of Australia - InformationBlast (353 words)
The initial coat of arms was granted by King Edward VII on May 7, 1908, and the current version was granted by King George V on September 19, 1912, although the 1908 version continued to be used in some contexts, notably appearing on the sixpenny coin until 1966.
The 1908 coat of arms consisted of a shield in the center, the Commonwealth crest above it, and a kangaroo and an emu supporting the shield, all on a bed of green grass with a scroll containing the motto "Advance Australia".
The 1912 coat of arms replaced the bed of grass with a background of golden wattle, changed the scroll to read simply "Australia", and addressed concerns that Australia's states were not represented by representing each of their coat of arms on the shield.
