"Each Endeavoring, All Achieving"
The Pineapple surmounting the arms represents the
famous Antigua Black Pineapple.
The red Hibiscus flowers are symbolic of the many
varieties that bloom in the Nation.
The golden Sun and the wavy blue and white BANDS
symbolize the Sea, Sun and Beaches.
The central Sugar Mill Tower and the stem of
SUGAR CANE echoes the historic production of
sugar, once the main industry.
The Century Plant or Dagger Pole with its stem
and showy golden yellow flowers was a part of the
historic emblem of Antigua and the Leeward
Islands. The two rampant Deer depict the only lar
ge animal within the Eastern Caribbean and that
is unique to Antigua and Barbuda.
The Scroll  bears the motto of the Nation.
