It is a curtain, with the lower tablecloth representing, on a blue background, the indigenous name of Coahuila, which means grove and whose name undoubtedly came from the leafy walnut trees that grew in the most abundant spring of the now municipality of Monclova, a town that, despite its successive designations, continued to be called with admirable persistence San Francisco de Coahuila or, simply, Coahuila, which gave its name to the Coahuiltecan tribe and its name to the river that today bears the name of Monclova. A red sun emerges from the walnut tree to symbolize that the Mexican revolution was born in Coahuila. The sinister curtain recalls that the southern portion of the territory that today forms the State of Coahuila belonged until 1787 to Nueva Vizcaya, whose arms are those that appear on this curtain and are none other than those of the old Basque province of the same name; on a blue field, a tree and two crossed wolves, introducing the variant of changing the blue background for a silver one. The curtain on the right contains, with the only variant that the blue background was changed for a gold one, the coat of arms of the city of Badajoz, which is in turn the coat of arms of the province of Extremadura, thereby representing the historical fact that the portion of the current State of Coahuila located north of twenty-six degrees of boreal latitude had the name of Nueva Extremadura. The arms consist of a rampant lion of gules supported on a silver column, with the Latin legend: “Plus Ultra”. On the border of the coat of arms, the inscription: Coahuila de Zaragoza. [2]
