The Coat of Arms for the province was officially granted by royal warrant May 30, 1905.

The top segment of the shield features the English heraldic lion. The lion appears on the coat of arms of Prince Edward, after whom the Island was named, and on the royal coat of arms of King Edward VII, who assigned the arms. The lower part of the shield shows a green Island with a large oak on the right and three young oaks on the left. The mature tree symbolizes the oak of England and the three saplings represent the province's three counties - Kings, Queens and Prince. The trees rise from a single base, both Britain and PEI being Islands.

Scrolled along the bottom of the shield are the Latin words Parva Sub Ingenti, which, when translated, read: The small under the protection of the great.
