A coat of arms divided into two vertical halves—the left half with thin, diagonal lines and the right half with thin, vertical lines. At the center, in the forefront, is a lion. Above on the chief, which is speckled in design, are two crescents flanking a long, twisted snake. At the helm is a knight's helmet, surrounded by elaborate mantling. At the crest is a tiger. Below, backed by oak boughs, is the motto Perseverance.
