As mentioned, Coventry's Coat of Arms incorporates an elephant carrying a castle. The elephant represents strength (to carry a castle on its back) but it is not clear whether it was meant to be Coventry's castle. The motto "Camera Principis" translates simply as "The Prince's Chamber", a reference to the fact that the City of Coventry was regarded as the 'chamber' of Edward, the Black Prince. The photograph shows the Coat of Arms above the main entrance to The Council House in Coventry
