Coat of arms of Jersey.

The coat of arms of Jersey is a red shield with three gold lions (traditionally known as leopards) passant guardant (les trois léopards in French). It was granted to the island as a seal by Edward I in 1279.[1] It is very similar to the arms of Normandy, Guernsey and England

Since 1981 the arms have been included in the Flag of Jersey.
