The lower part of the shield represents Yukon's mountains, with the gold disks (called "bezants," a medieval gold coin) representing the territory's mineral resources and its birth in the Klondike Gold Rush. The two white wavy lines represent the territory's rivers.
The red cross in chief represents England. The roundel surmounting it is in a pattern called vair (i.e. squirrel fur), representing the territory's wealth of fur-bearing animals.
