of faithful service to the Kingdom. The heraldry is significant of the four nations guaranteeing the independence of Hawaii -
the Union Jack of Great Britain, the thirteen stars of the United States of America, and the tri colors of France and Belgium,
shown in the four quarters of the shield. The Treaty of Indpendence in the center is held by four hands representing these
nations. The translation of the motto beneath is ‘It Shall Be Upheld’. The coat of arms was designed by Guimier in Paris at the
instance of Haalilio. The Hawaiian flag is at the top.”
