Coat of arms of Malta
The various coats of arms appear on passports, excise stamps, official documents and various other uses.All three badges were featured on the Maltese state ensigns and the Governor's flag: This coat of arms was adopted upon independence on 21 September 1964.Above is a mural crown shaped like a fort with five octagonal turrets surmounts a helmet, with red and white ribbons.It showed a coastal scene with the rising sun, a traditional Maltese boat, a shovel and a pitchfork, and an Opuntia.[2] The emblem was controversial since it was not heraldic, and it was replaced by the current coat of arms soon after the Nationalists won the 1987 election.
