The Coronation Emblem, designed by Sir Jony Ive with his creative collective LoveFrom. The official emblem celebrates the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. The emblem is created with the flora of the four nations of the United Kingdom: the rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, the daffodil for Wales and the shamrock for Northern Ireland. These natural forms combine to describe Saint Edward’s Crown, used for the coronation of British monarchs.

Representations and descriptions of insignia used in substantive portions of this publication are for reference use only. The Coronation Emblem has been used in accordance with directions issued by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office. No endorsement, express or implied, has been given or received in the compilation of this publication.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla bears great significance for the peoples of the Commonwealth realms and beyond. This historical event on 6 May just past gave us the opportunity to witness millennia of tradition in practice. However, in the midst of the pomp and circumstance we are reminded of the true purpose of leadership as embodied by His Majesty The King, in coming not to be served but to serve. This tradition of leadership in service continues in this country through the Australian Honours System and the bearing of heraldic Arms by lawful authority by institutions and people.

This roll of arms celebrate the Coronation of Their Majesties and the Centenary of the settlement of the current site of Rankins Springs, New South Wales, with 122 distinct and extant Australian coats of arms, one for each year of existence of the Commonwealth of Australia, which was formed on 1 January 1901. Included in this roll are the Arms of local authorities, our leading universities and professional bodies, as well as some eminent Australians. This is in addition to the Arms of senior members of the Royal Family, the Commonwealth, the States and internal Territories of Australia and the Memorial Roll. In addition, I have also compiled a list of Australian honours and awards complete with a heraldic description (blazon) of each ribbon bar.

In the 12th century, knights participating in ‘tournaments’ would present their shields before a herald (a word derived the Frankish word *hariwald, meaning ‘commander of an army’). This led to the development of heraldry, or the study of armorial bearings, as a field of academic study. A defining characteristic of heraldic insignia is that it is officially described using terminology commonly known as ‘blazonry.’ Indeed, the origin of the term ‘emblazon’ originally referred to a graphical depiction of insignia drawn from the ‘blazon’ or heraldic description. I have included a glossary to complement your understanding of the terms used in blazonry, which poetically and succinctly describes insignia in a timeless fashion.

Developing from the notions of honour espoused by the knights in shining armour from a long time ago, heraldry began to be regulated in the 15th century in England and Wales under the auspices of the Sovereign as fons honorum, which translates as ‘fount of honour.’ It is this ancient Royal Prerogative that underpins the Australian Honours System including the Order of Australia and service medals. The Officers of Arms, initially private heralds of the Sovereign, were originally granted the powers of a Royal Commission and empowered to ensure only eminent persons could bear arms. In 1484, King Richard III incorporated the heralds as a body corporate, and in 1555, Queen Mary and her husband King Philip II of Spain re-incorporated the body as The College of Arms. Disputes over the ownership of armorial bearings would be heard by a Court of Chivalry, overseen by the Earl Marshal, His Grace the Duke of Norfolk [Officials 2]. Although the enforcement powers of the officers of arms have been since been abrogated by statute, the kings of arms [Officials 3-5] still make grants of armorial bearings to eminent persons and institutions.

Although some legal sources say the authority of the College in Australia was discontinued by the Australia Act 1986, it is important to note that this did not have any effect in relation to the fount of honour. United Kingdom honours continued to be awarded on the nomination of the State governments until after the commencement of the Australia Act, in 1989. It is only after 1992 that UK honours began to be seen as foreign honours for which the permission of the Governor General must be sought for their wearing. However, Australians may continue to receive British honours ordinarily; an Australian who becomes a Knight of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) [Honours 22] are entitled to the title ‘Sir’ as before 1992. A grant of Armorial Ensigns to an Australian Citizen by the Kings of Arms would be of similar status, in that it is an ordinary award equal to that given to British Citizens. Also, despite the Australia Act confirming the legislative, executive and judicial independence of Australia, His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in England [Officials 1] continued to appoint notaries public in Australia (a role originally conferred on him as a result of the Reformation) in most Australian jurisdictions until well after the Act’s commencement, and in the case of Victoria, 6 June 2002, being the commencement of the Public Notaries Act 2001.

This being said, the officers of arms, not having any statutory basis in either England or Australia, are greatly limited in their capacity to enforce the Law of Arms as to prevent members of the public from ‘assuming’ insignia without due authorisation by an Act of Parliament (as is the case with Macquarie University [57]), a Royal Warrant by His Majesty The King or letters patent issued by the kings of arms pursuant to a warrant issued by the Earl Marshal. As such, only coats of arms recorded in His Majesty’s College of Arms are included in this roll. I do hope that this roll of arms will draw attention to the cause of patriation of Australia’s heraldic tradition and its integration with the Australian Honours System. In compiling a roll of arms, I am indeed continuing the cause of Charles Low in A Roll of Australian Arms, corporate and personal, borne by lawful authority (1971) and Colonel A G Puttock’s Heraldry in Australia (1988).
