Sint Eustatius, 2004

Sint Eustatius, 2004

The coat of arms of Sint Eustatius was established by the Island council on 9 November 2004. It features a shield divided into three parts. These represent the past: the Golden Rock (the nickname when it was a wealthy trading post); the present: Fort Oranje, the 17th-century fortress and the centre of social life; and the future: an Angelfish, symbolising the rich nature and ecological heritage of the island. Around the shield is a string of blue Statia “Slave beads”, and behind the shield are two sugar cane stalks for the ancient sugar plantations. The crown symbolises the 16 (former) forts on the island, and the Latin motto “Superba et confidens” means Proud and Confident.
