The coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles shows a shield, in which a giant tortoise is located on green grounds. On the ground there is a coco de mer palm tree. Behind it there is a blue sea with two islands and a sail ship to be seen. The shield is enthroned by a silver helmet, on which a white-tailed tropicbird is located above blue and white waves. The shield is supported by two white sailfish. Beneath the shield the motto of Seychelles is stated: 'Finis Coronat Opus' (a phrase traditionally attributed to Ovid) (Latin for 'The End Crowns the Work'). (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
