The coat of arms of French Guiana, a région of France located in South America, displays a gules camp, a sable boat with heraldry oars carrying a bunch of gold situated in an azure river with three silver neuflar flowers two of which are paired together and one solo.

Holding the coat of arms are a couple of anteaters.

The chief shows an azure strip with three golden lilies surrounded by the number 1643 made of the same metal.

The number 1643 refers to the year that French Guiana was incorporated into France. The loaded golden boat symbolizes the richness that exists in the territory.

The words, "Work Creates Abundance" (Template:Lang-la) appear on the superior part of the shield on a ribbon.

Logo of French Guiana

The logo of French Guiana shows a yellow five-pointed star in a patch of blue, over an orange figure in a yellow boat on a patch of green, over two wavy orange lines. Above the logo is inscribed GUYANE, and LA RÉGION below. It is the central device of the flag of French Guiana.
