Inside the mask is a British flag, and on top of that is the coat of arms of Bermuda, which depicts a red lion holding a shield that has a depiction of a wrecked ship upon it. (Quo fata ferunt (Latin) means Whither the fates carry (English) ). Under the mask is the word Bermuda and coordinates to the island.
