The fleur-de-lys and the crown indicate the conquest of Calais in 1558 by the French. The fleur-de-lys was the French Royal symbol. The city was conquered by François of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, the cousin of Henry II. This is symbolised by the two crosses of Lorraine.

Calais was also a famous port where many English and French knights departed for the crusades. This is symbolised by the crescent and the Jerusalem Cross in base.
