The arms of Cres originate from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and show a golden panther. The modern shield is based on the historical examples preserved mainly as carved in stone in several places in Cres. A legend told by the Cres inhabitants explains the use of the panther as symbolic for themselves - tame and lovely (and ready to work hard) as young horses they become dangerous as lions and eagles when they are provoked. | The arms of Cres originate from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and show a golden panther.
