The coat of arms of French Polynesia consists of an outrigger depicted in a disc over a stylized emblem of sun and sea. The Coat of arms is placed prominently in the middle of the flag of French Polynesia.

Description

Adopted 23 November 1984 by the Assembly of French Polynesia, at the same time as the flag in which the arms have centre place, the coat of arms shows a stylized Polynesian sailing canoe, a Tahitian and national traditional symbol. It is encircled by a rising sun in the upper half, and by waves in the lower one. The five asterisks represents the five Archipelagos: the Society Islands, the Tuamotus archipelago, the Gambier Islands, the Austral Islands and the Marquesas.[1]
