Coat of Arms for the borough of Worthing, designed by Mr TR Hide in 1890. The coat of arms includes three silver mackerel, a Horn of Plenty overflowing with corn and fruit on a cloth of gold, and the figure of Hygieia (the Ancient Greek goddess of health) holding a snake. They represent the health given from the seas, the fullness and riches gained from the earth and the power of healing.
The motto is the Latin Ex terra copiam e mari salutem, which translates as 'From the land plenty and from the sea health'.
This coat of arms image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Coat of arms of Worthing.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
