The '''coat of arms of Tasmania''' is an official symbol of the [[Australian state]] of [[Tasmania]]. It was granted by [[George V of the United Kingdom|King George V]] in May 1917. The shield features significant examples of Tasmanian industry: a sheaf of wheat, hops, a ram and apples. It is surmounted by a red lion that also features on the state badge. The shield is supported by two [[thylacines]] (Tasmanian tigers/wolves) with a motto beneath, ''Ubertas et Fidelitas'', which is Latin for "Fertility and Faithfulness".<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.dpac.tas.gov.au/divisions/corporate_and_culture/communications_and_protocol/state_symbols | title=Department of Premier and Cabinet }}</ref> |

The lion above the shield has its origins in British heraldry. Its forepaw rests on a pick and shovel to represent the Tasmanian mining industry. |
|||
Within the shield, a sheaf of wheat represents agriculture, a heraldic thunderbolt depicts hydro-electricity and a ram illustrates the wool industry. |
|||
Apples and hops also are depicted. with a motto beneath, ''Ubertas et Fidelitas'', translates as "Fruitfulness and Faithfulness" |
|||
A pair of Tasmanian tigers, or Thylacines, form the supporters to the shield. The tiger, a carnivorous marsupial, was common in Tasmania in the 19th Century, but is now believed extinct. |
