The Britannia in the first quarter represents the fact that it’s a British bank, with HQ in London; the second quarter shows an Indian elephant, the third a fleece representing the sheep’s wool industry of Australia, and the fourth a Chinese junk. All 3 countries in the bank’s title are thus represented. The boat also symbolises the sea trade which Standard Chartered financed as its core business. | The Britannia in the first quarter represents the fact that it’s a British bank, with HQ in London; the second quarter shows an Indian elephant, the third a fleece representing the sheep’s wool industry of Australia, and the fourth a Chinese junk.
