The Cornish Crest | Cornwall

The Cornish Crest is  broad blue and white with horizontal lines representing the sea. At the centre of the shield are 15 golden roundels - One story is the roundels are the ransom raised in Cornwall for the Duke of Cornwall, captured by the Saracens during the Crusades.

To either side of the shield are a fisherman and a miner reflecting what, until recently were the major industries of the county

Atop of the shield is a Chough, a relative of the jackdaw. A symbol of Cornwall, it was once a common sight on Cornwall's cliffs and  recently introduced.

Below the shield is the county motto, "One And All"
