Tasmania's coat of arms has a shield supported by two thylacines (extinct marsupials commonly called Tasmanian Tigers). On the shield are images of wheat, apples, hops and sheep, which are all symbols of Tasmania's major rural industries. Above the shield is a red lion holding a pick and shovel, which represents Tasmania's mining history. The Latin motto underneath is Ubertas et fidelitas, meaning 'Fertility and Faithfulness'.

∙ 10y agoThe Coat of Arms of Australia includes the following features:
The emblems of each of the states of Australia: On the shield, top row from left to right: a red cross of St George with Golden lion passant and eight-pointed stars (the state badge of New South Wales), an Imperial crown above a white Southern cross (state badge of Victoria), and a Maltese Cross with a light blue Imperial crown in the centre (the state badge of Queensland).
On the bottom row, left to right: a "piping shrike" or magpie with outstretched wings on a yellow background (the state badge of South Australia), a black swan swimming against a yellow background (the state badge of Western Australia) and a red lion passant on a white background (the state badge of Tasmania). The shield has a border of ermine.
Above the shield: a seven-pointed star, known as the Federation Star or Commonwealth Star, representing the Federation, resting on a torse (striped wreath) of blue and gold. The seven points represent the states and territories - one point for each of the states, and one to represent the two mainland and seven offshore territories.
Underneath or around the shield: sprigs of wattle, Australia's national floral emblem.
Bearing the shield, on the left: a red kangaroo, on the right: an emu. These two faunal emblems were selected as neither can take a backwards step, thereby symbolising forward progression.
Underneath (sometimes omitted): a scroll, with the word "Australia". Originally it said "Advance Australia", but now it has been shortened to just "Australia".

No. The Tasmanian Coat of Arms was approved by King George V in 1917, prior to the extinction of the Thylacine. The Thylacine is believed to have been included because this animal was endemic to Tasmania, and it was a belated recognition of the uniqueness of the Thylacine. The bounty scheme, which directly led to the extinction of the Thylacine, only ended in 1909.
