Coats of Arms

The coat of arms of the Netherlands Antilles consists of a shield, a crown and a banner. The shield is gold with a red border. On the shield five-pointed stars represent each island of the country, 6 until 1986 and 5 after Aruba became an independent state. On top of the shield the crown represents the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Underneath the shield a golden banner says: "LIBERTATE VNANIMVS" (Latin for 'United in Freedom').
