The AFP badge
The AFP badge consists of the following components:
- The crown symbolises service to the Crown (Commonwealth).
- The wreath symbolises victory.
- The Coat of Arms represents the Australian Government and people.
- The seven pointed Commonwealth Star represents the States and Territories of Australia.
Note: The Commonwealth Star was created in 1901 and had six points representing the States (formerly colonies), the seventh point being added in 1908 to represent the Commonwealth Territories and to match the crest of the Commonwealth Coat of Arms, the first version of which was created in 1908. The Commonwealth Star is sometimes referred to as the Federation Star.
