Coat of arms of Canberra

The requirement for a coat of arms of Canberra was created by the response to a request by the Commonwealth Department of Defence, who wanted to use it on the newly commissioned HMAS Canberra. The Federal Capital Commission (FCC) announced a competition to design a coat of arms for the City of Canberra. From 1993 a modified version of this Coat of Arms appear also in the flag of the Australian Capital Territory.
