Bank of Montreal Coat of Arms Plaque

Made in Canada. Pre-1934. Cast brass. Inspired by the City of Montreal's original 1833 coat of arms, the Bank of Montreal adopted the emblem featured on this building plaque. It shows two crouching indigenous men resting their elbows on a shield over cornucopias spilling with fruit. When BMO officially registered the image with the College of Arms in London in 1933, the College required the native figures to stand upright rather than crouch, prompting a redesign for 1934. The updated coat of arms was used until 1967 when the modernized logo used today was adopted. Unmarked. All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions.
