HistoryThe three swords represent the three dynasties or lines of the kings of Tonga, namely the Tu{{okina}}i Tonga, Tu{{okina}}i Ha{{okina}}atakalaua and the current Tu{{okina}}i Kanokupolu). Tonga was united under King Siaosi Tupou I, who then orchestrated the formation of the first formal government and also the coat of arms. The dove with the olive branch symbolises the wish of God's peace to reign in Tonga forever (the dove and olive branch are taken from the story of Noah and the Great Flood in the Bible). The three stars symbolise the main island groups of Tonga, which are Tongatapu, Vava{{okina}}u and Ha{{okina}}apai. The Crown symbolises the ruling monarchy, the King of Tonga. The text on the scroll at the bottom reads Ko e {{okina}}Otua mo Tonga ko hoku Tofi{{okina}}a in the Tongan language: 'God and Tonga are my inheritance'. DescriptionThere is no official specification of how exactly the arms should look. Even the shield on the front gate of the late king's palace is different from the old black/white copy used by the (ex-) government printer on all official stationery, is different from the copy on the prime minister's office webpage, etc. Some have pointed crowns, some rounded; some have normal flags, others have flags looking more like banners; some use the modern orthography, some the old (Ko e Otua mo Toga ko hoku Tofia); some have black swords, others white; and so forth. Royal Standard{{stack|}}The Royal Standard of Tonga is the monarch's personal flag and is an armorial banner of the Royal Arms of Tonga. See also
