The coat of arms of Victoria is the official heraldic symbol of the Australian state of Victoria. Victoria was the second state of Australia to gain arms, granted on 6 June 1910 by royal warrant of King George V. The state had been named in 1851 after his grandmother, who reigned at the time.[1] The current version of the arms was granted 28 March 1978 in the royal warrant issued by Queen Elizabeth II.
