New Zealand's Coat of Arms History of the New Zealand Coat of Arms Until 1911, New Zealand used the same national coat of arms as the United Kingdom. When New Zealand became a Dominion in 1907, it was decided that a new Coat of Arms was required. The competition was hold in 1908 and 75 designs sent their version. Three entries were sent to England for final judging. The winning entry was a design by James McDonald, a draughtsman in the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts. Although the Royal Warrant of 1911 gave a description of the New Zealand Coat of Arms, by the mid 1940s it was found that there were at least 20 versions of the design in use. A committee was established to arrange for the redrawing and standardisation of the Arms, and a revised version received The Queen's approval in 1956. This version is used until now.

Nendele kujudele oli kirjutatud loits, mis oli ka Surnuteraamatus olemas, mis kohustas neid tegema igasugust tööd, mis hauataguses elus talle võidi määrata. Lõik töötegemise kohta Surnuteraamatu inglisekeelsest tõlkest: ,,The chapter of not letting work be done in the underworld by Nebseni, the scribe and draughtsman in the temple of Ptah, who saith :- ,,I lift up the hand of the man who is inactive. I have come from the city of Unnu (Hermopolis). I am the divine Soul which liveth, and I lead with the hearts of the apes.""3 (Ahvid viitavad kuuele ahvile, keda on nähtud jumaldamas Päikesejumal Ra'd, kuid tatõuseb. Huneferi papüürusel on ahve seitse.) 3 ,,The Book of the Dead" London 1960, lk 52 3 olulisemat peatükki Peatükk XVII
