Coat of Arms of Rhodesia
The coat of arms of South Rhodesia and later Rhodesia centers a shield decorated with a red lion on an upper white bar sided by two thistles. The latter came from the family arms of Cecil Rhodes after whom the country was named. Underneath the white bar a golden pick-axe represents the importance of mining in the area. On top of the shield a helmet, some vegetation and a soapstone bird (as found in the ruins of great Zimbabwe) are placed. The whole is flanked by two Sable antilope. Underneath the shield a banner says: "Sit Nomine Digna" (In English: May she worth it of the name") again referring to Cecil Rhodes.
