Coat of arms of Jersey.

The coat of arms of Jersey is a red shield with three gold lions (traditionally known as leopards) passant guardant (les trois léopards in French). It derives from the seal granted to the island's Bailiff by Edward I in 1279.¹ In 1907 Edward VII sanctioned the claimed usage by the island of the arms. ²

It is very similar to the arms of Normandy, Guernsey and England. Since 1981 the arms have been included in the flag of Jersey.
