On this Souvenir sheet, we have taken the opportunity to feature the Pitcairn Islands Coat of Arms. Significant features of the Coat of Arms include the Bible and anchor from HMS Bounty symbolising Pitcairn's Christian heritage and its maritime history. A Pitcairn wheelbarrow holding a flowering slip of the indigenous Miro tree, rests at the top. The Pitcairn Island Coat of Arms was granted by Royal Warrant on 4 November 1969.
