* MULBERRY: The Mulberry symbolizes Prudence and Wisdom.

* SEA: The Sea symbolizes a raging and wrathful spirit that does not lose, however, the limits of the obedience that it owes to its sovereign.

* CROSS: The Cross symbolizes the sword of the Knights, to whom this piece was granted when they returned from combat with their sword dyed in enemy blood. The Cross was also taken as a teaching by most of the Crusaders.

* OLIVE: The Olive Tree is a symbol of Peace, due to the perennial green of its leaves, it also means Immutable Courage against adverse fortune.
