A copy on paper of the "Armorial Bearings of the Borough of Rhondda" and a paper label that are glued onto pink card stock. The paper is titled "THE ARMORIAL BEARINGS OF THE BOROUGH OF RHONDDA". It features the image of the coat of arms with description and interpretation. The coat of arms has 2 black Sea-dragons supporting a shield-shaped crest, the Red Dragon of Wales carrying a torch on the top, and a motto in red lettering on a white coloured band that reads "HYW CLOD NA GOLUD" (Fame Outlasts Wealth) on the bottom. This coat of arms was granted to Borough of Rhondda in Wales, Great Britain by Letters Patent in 1955. The white label below the paper has black texts that read "Presented on behalf of the Mayor of Rhondda (Councilor Glyn James) on the occasion of the Concert Tour of The Treorchy Male Choir to Canada 1985".
