The coat of arms of Anguilla is the heraldic device consisting of a shield charged with three orange dolphins leaping over the sea.
A legislative union between the two islands was later established in 1825, despite vehement opposition from Anguillan freeholders over the arrangement of having Saint Kitts pass laws for both areas.
