This particular set of coat of arms is found on a Canadian National Historic Site marker detailing the history of the Medalta Pottery factory in Medicine Hat, in the Medalta Clay Historic District.
It is one of two such CNHS markers here.
The marker reads as follows:
"[Canada Coat of Arms]
MEDALTA POTTERIES

Name for Medicine Hat, Alberta source of plentiful gas and clays, but Delta used and expanded the 1912 premises of an earlier pottery to produce a wide variety of utilitarian and decorative wares for homes, institutions, hotels and the Armed Forces.

The Arms of Canada (French: Armoiries du Canada), also known as the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada (French: armoiries royales du Canada) or, formally, as the Arms of His Majesty the King in Right of Canada (French: Armoiries de Sa Majesté le roi du Canada),[16] is, since 1921, the arms of dominion of the Canadian monarch and, thus, also the official coat of arms of Canada. It is closely modelled after the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, with French and distinctive Canadian elements replacing or added to those derived from the British version.
The maple leaves in the shield, blazoned "proper" (i.e. in natural colour), were originally drawn vert (green), but were redrawn gules (red) in 1957 and a circlet of the Order of Canada was added to the arms for limited use in 1987. The arms are registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority and protected under Crown copyright; they are used to signify national sovereignty and the federal government uses the arms to represent the state under the Federal Identity Program. Elements of the coat of arms are also used in other designs, with the shield design being used in the various royal standards belonging to members of the royal family and the governor general's flag, featuring the crest of the arms on a blue field.
