The coat of arms of the Australian Capital Territory (officially the coat of arms of the city of Canberra) was granted to the City of Canberra by King George V in 1928, to be used by "the Federal Capital Commissioners and their successors".[1] It has been used by the Australian Capital Territory as its de facto coat of arms, as the territory does not have one of its own.[2] A modified version of this coat of arms also appears on the flag of the Australian Capital Territory, adopted in 1993.[3]
