In 1619, a year marked by several important events in the Colony, including the assembling of the first General Assembly, the London Company adopted a "Cote for Virginia". The coat of arms has been a puzzle and source of speculation to every historian and has been sometimes confused with the proper seal of the Colony itself. It is found as a book plate or frontispiece in nearly all of the printed acts and official proceedings of the Colonial government. It appears in Smith's Generall Historie of Virginia, editions 1624 and 1632; in Beverley's History of Virginia, in several issues of the Virginia Gazette, and in Stow's Survey of London, published in 1633. It was changed slightly from time to time to make the quarterings agree with the arms of the different reigning houses, and after the union of England and Scotland "quartam' succeeded "quintum" in the motto. The illustration is from the title page of Merchants of Virginia in the Virginia State Library and the colors were selected arbitrarily.
