Description

The main part of the shield is blue with a yellow ship, representing the Grande Hermine, which brought Jacques Cartier to Saint Pierre on June 15, 1536. Three square flags placed along the top recall the origin of most inhabitants of the islands, from left to right, Basques, Bretons, and Normans. It is crowned with a naval crown.

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