Description

A large metal coat of arms for the City of Kingston. It has a lion and a griffon holding up a red shield that depicts a martello tower under a crown. On top of the shield is a helmet, with a beaver on top of it. The shield and beaver are a separate piece bolted to the main body of the crest. There is a ribbon at the bottom that has blue text that says, "PRO REGE // GREGE // ET LEGE". The reverse side is black.

History

This crest represented the City prior to amalgamation when a new coat of arms was initiated.
