The coat of arms of Canberra (also known as the coat of arms of the Australian Capital Territory) 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] In 1989, a year after the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) gained self-government, the arms began to be used by newly formed ACT Government.[2] A modified version of this coat of arms also appears on the flag of the Australian Capital Territory, adopted in 1993.[3]
