Primary industries take pride of place on the Coat of Arms, in line with economic trends in the nineteenth century. Rural activities are represented by a sheaf of wheat, the heads of a bull and a ram, and by two stalks of sugar cane which surround the state badge at the top. The prominence of mining is represented by a column of gold rising from a heap of quartz. On the Coat of Arms is Queensland’s state motto, Audax at Fidelis, which means "Bold but Faithful". In line with the economic priorities of the 19th century, symbols of primary industries and mining are featured on the chosen Coat of Arms design. The heads of a bull and a ram, a sheaf of wheat and two stalks of sugar cane represent the major rural industries. The badge of the Maltese Cross with crown has altered over time to represent the changes in the English monarchy.
