FI-isfond ta' I-arma naraw il-kuluri abjad u ahmar mehudha mill-bandiera Maltija Ii jfakkruna Ii San Pawl hu Missier u patrun tagnna I-Maltin. Fuq dawn naraw is-sejf u I-lifgha. Is-sejf ifakkarna fil-Martirju ta' I-Appostlu Missierna, il-festa Ii niccelebraw fir-Rabat. II-lifgha tfakkarna fil-grajja tan-Nawfragju ta' San Pawl, liema grajja welldet ir-religjon nisranija f'pajjizna. Fuq din I-arma preciz wiened isib il-kuruna. Din m'hix kuruna komuni. Kull titlu jitlob kuruna differenti. Din iI-kuruna hi dik marbuta mal-martri. Ghandha I-ponot tagnha forma tal-ponot tal-palma Ii wkoll hi assocjata mal-martri. Taht I-arma preciz hemm miktuba is-sena 1427 u mxerrda b'simetrija madwar I-arma naraw hafna stilel imxerdin. Dan l-isfond blu bl-istilel ghandu origini minn leggenda marbuta mal-attakk li l-gharab kienu ghamlu fuq Malta 1429. Dawn kienu kwazi rebhu l-gzira imma fl-ahhar minghajr raguni telqu.
