Summary[edit]

Description
English: Coat of arms of Cape Town, South Africa, created by the College of Arms in 1899 and adopted in 1972. The seal of Cape Town granted in 1804, and also the arms which were an integral part of the seal, therefor remained in use. At the end of the 19th century a Patent of Arms was requested from the College of Arms in London. This Patent, dated 29 December 1899, confirmed the essence of the grant by de Mist, but augmented the arms with the addition of a helmet, crest, mantling, supporters and a motto. It consists of:
  • Arms: Or, an anchor erect Sable, stock proper, from the ring a riband flowing Azure and suspended therefrom an escutcheon Gules charged with three annulets Or.
  • Crest: On the battlements of a tower proper, a trident in bend Or, surmounted by an anchor and cable in bend sinister, Sable.
  • Wreath and mantling: Or and Sable.
  • Supporters: On a compartment below the shield consisting of rocky mounds, dexter, a female figure proper vested Argent, mantle and sandals Azure, on her head an estoile irradiated Or, supporting with her dexter hand an anchor proper; sinister, a lion rampant guardant Gules.
