The Union Jack in the canton represents Fiji's historical links with the United Kingdom and its membership in the Commonwealth. The shield, derived from the national coat of arms, depicts a golden lion holding a cocoa pod at the top, and a white field divided into four quarters by a red St. George's Cross.
