The  coat of arms of the Cape Colony was the official heraldic symbol of the Cape Colony as a British colony from 1875 to 1910, and as a province of South Africa  from 1910 to 1994. It is now obsolete.
The badge is hallmarked with the makers mark W.J.D confirming it is a William James Dingley piece, the Lion Passant confirming it is British sterling silver, the Anchor Assay mark confirming it was made in Birmingham and the date letter "b" confirming it was made in 1901. It weighs 3.48 grams and is around 2cm wide. Please view the pics as they form part of the description.
The symbolism of the arms is straightforward. The lion is a South African animal, and also appears in the arms of the two colonial powers which ruled at the Cape, Netherlands and Great Britain. The rings were taken from the arms of the founder of the colony, Jan van Riebeeck. The fleur-de-lis represent the contribution of the Huguenots to the early history of the country. The crest is the Lady of Good Hope, grasping an anchor, first introduced as a symbol of the colony in 1715.[3] The supporters, a gnu (wildebeest) and an oryx (gemsbok), are two typical South African animals. The motto, "Spes Bona" simply means "Good Hope".
