The coats of arms of New Zealand, the city of Christchurch and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand all include a hanging fleece to express the importance of sheep to the nation’s economy. Both New Zealand and Christchurch also include a sheaf of wheat, while the Reserve Bank, with a more contemporary sense of economic importance, has a bull’s head to represent the beef and dairy industries.
