South Georgia coat of arms
The flag of South Georgia is blue with the UK flag in the canton. The national coat of arms is centered on the fly half and has a green shield with a golden lion holding a torch. A fur seal is to the left of the shield and a Macaroni penguin to the right. A reindeer appears above the crest, and below the shield on a scroll is the Latin motto "LEO TERRAM PROPRIAM PROTEGAT" (Let the Lion Protect its Own Land).
