Arms P rince Edward Island's coat of arms was granted by King Edward VII on May 30, 1905. It depicts a large oak and three oak saplings . The three saplings are Prince Edward Island's three counties, named King's, Queen's, and Prince.
Some people maintain the oaks depicted are white oaks.
Others counter that the designer meant them to be red oaks, the province's official tree. The stylized lion above the oaks is a common symbol of Great Britain. The oaks and lion are depicted on Prince Edward Island's flag, which was adopted on March 24, 1964. . Click GeoBooks . All rights reserved.
