The coat of arms of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is the official heraldic symbol of the French overseas collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. It was designed by Léon Joner.^{[citation needed]}

Description

The main part of the shield is blue with a yellow ship, said^{[by whom?]} to represent the Grande Hermine, which brought Jacques Cartier to Saint Pierre on June 15, 1536.^[1] Three square flags placed along the top recall the origin of most inhabitants of the islands, from left to right, Basques, Bretons, and Normans.^[1] It is crowned with a naval crown.^[2]

The unofficial flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon recapitulates elements of the coat of arms.
