The royal coat of arms of Konalani (Konalanese: ʻAʻahu aliʻi o Konalani; Oharic: Yekonalanī Nigushawī K'emīsi) is the national coat of arms of the Kingdom of Konalani. Adopted in 1835 during the reign of ʻIolani II, the coat of arms features a shield divided into four quarters, alternating between a white kāhili on a red field, and a red hibiscus on a white field, with two crossed oars on a gold field in a inescutcheon in the centre of the coat of arms. The Crown of Konalani makes up the crest above the shield, while a scroll reading Konalani's national motto, "Lanakila ʻana" (Anglish: "To victory"), is positioned below the shield.
History
The first coat of arms designed for a Konalanese monarch was for ʻIolani I in 1822, after the signing of the Treaty of the Paddles recognizing Konalani's sovereignty.
