The symbolism of the Hall’s Coat of Arms effuses a charge of an heraldic carbuncle or
escarbuncle, intended to allude to the name of the Hall, for this charge, deriving from the
strengthening strips of a shield, can be regarded as portraying the strength that association
brings to all the members of the Commonwealth of Nations in association together.
The ray-like limbs emanating from the centre suggesting the independence of each member
of the Commonwealth, while each remains a part of the whole. This carbuncle is set
against a background of azure and gold and countercharged to suggest the diversity of
the Commonwealth in all quarters of the globe but with its essential unity unimpaired.
The bordure of red is appropriate to a body that is part of another, in this instance, the
University of Ghana.
The fact that Commonwealth Hall is the third in date is shown by the three mullets or stars, each being the Ghana Star itself. Commonwealth Hall Coat of Arms
