Description
The Cornish Crest.
The fifteen balls in the Cornish Badge represent fifteen besants, Byzantian gold coins, which was the ransom to the Saracens for the release of the Earl of Cornwall in the ninth century. The Cornish motto 'One and All' is said to commemorate the voluntary efforts of the Cornish people to raise this ransom. The Cornish Fisherman and Cornish Tin Miner represent what were the major industries. The Cornish bird is the Cornish Chough.
