Samoa was the first Polynesian nation to reestablish independence in the 20th century. The background is cross-hatched with a grid like the United Nations arms, most of the other elements are duplicated on the national flag. DescriptionThe official crest or badge of Samoa is the Public Seal of Samoa excluding the surrounding concentric circles, and the words "The Public Seal of the Independent State of Samoa". The public seal is defined by legislation as follows:[1] {{quote|A silver shield with the lower two-thirds blue, having thereon 5 silver stars representing the constellation of the Southern Cross, of the same shape and the same relative sizes and dispositions among themselves as in the Flag of Samoa; one half of the upper third depicting a green sea with a green coconut palm issuing therefrom; the shield being surmounted by a gold cross, and superimposed on 2 concentric circles of the world and the olive leaves as in the United Nations Badge, and bearing the subscription of the motto "Faavae i Le Atua Samoa", meaning in the English language "God be the Foundation of Samoa", the whole being contained within surrounding concentric circles between which are inscribed the words "The Public Seal of the Independent State of Samoa.}}Historical coat of armsExternal links{{Coat of arms of Oceania}}Notes1. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.paclii.org/ws/legis/consol_act_2010/psacosa1973250/|author= |date= |work= Consolidated Acts of Samoa 2010|publisher=Pacific Islands Legal Information Institute |accessdate=3 June 2012|title=Public seal of Samoa act 1973}} {{Samoa-stub}}{{Heraldry-stub}} 6 : National coats of arms|National symbols of Samoa|Coats of arms with crosses|Coats of arms with stars|Coats of arms with olive branches|Coats of arms with trees |
