Bishop Coffey's coat of arms (at left) was based on the various Coffey family arms which feature either three gold coffee cups or double handled mugs on a light green background. The top two cups were changed to gold chalices which signify the religious significance of the arms. The third cup at the bottom was replaced by a black swan which represents Gippsland and more specifically Sale, having been on the coat of arms of the City of Sale (now part of Wellington Shire) in which St Mary's Cathedral is situated.
The central white band with a blue star represents Mary as patroness of the diocese and to whom Bishop Coffey had special devotion. His motto was In Joyful Hope. His preferred style omited the green hat and tassles indicating the rank of bishop.
Bishop Coffey's official coat of arms (right) has the shield placed at an angle to the episcopal cross. The arms are halved with the Diocese of Sale arms featuring the lion bearing the cross and the three wavy stars (estoiles) on the left. The right hand section features his personal arms.
