---|---|
The Coat of arms of Morelos (Spanish : Escudo de Morelos, lit. "state shield of Morelos") is a symbol of the Free and Sovereign State of Morelos. [1]
The coat of arms of the state of Morelos represents the "fertility of the land." It also represents revolutionary ideals and aspirations. A green terrace can be seen from which a golden corn plant grows; between it and the star that crowns it, the motto "Land and Freedom" can be read in a silver band of the same color.
Above it appears a star and a silver ribbon with the legend "Land and Liberty" and around it you can read the revolutionary motto: "The land will return to those who work it with their hands," a phrase by the native hero Emiliano Zapata.
Framed around the emblem is a band with the legend "The land belongs to those who work it with their hands"; this frame is complemented by a green border on the inside and a red border on the outside of the shield. It synthesizes the strength of the revolutionary ideals in the service of better living conditions for the people. [2]
The coat of arms of the state of Morelos was designed by the painter Diego Rivera in 1923. [3]
The symbol is used by all successive regimes in different forms.
The coat of arms of the Argentine Republic or Argentine shield was established in its current form in 1944 but has its origins in the seal of the General Constituent Assembly of 1813. It is supposed that it was chosen quickly because of the existence of a decree signed on February 22 sealed with the symbol. The first mention of it in a public document dates to March 12 of that same year, in which it is stated that the seal had to be used by the executive power, that is, the second triumvirate. On April 13 the National Assembly coined the new silver and gold coins, each with the seal of the assembly on the reverse, and on April 27 the coat of arms became a national emblem. Although the coat of arms is not currently shown on flags, the Buenos Aires-born military leader Manuel Belgrano ordered to paint it over the flag he gave to the city of San Salvador de Jujuy, and during the Argentine War of Independence most flags had the coat of arms.
The coat of arms of Chile dates from 1834 and was designed by the English artist Charles Wood Taylor (1792–1856). It is made up by a figurative background divided in two equal parts: the top one is blue and the bottom, red. A five pointed white star is in the centre of the shield. This background is supported in one side by an Andean condor, the most significant bird of prey from the Andes, and in the other, by a huemul, a mammal endemic to Chile. Both animals wear golden naval crowns symbolising the heroic deeds of the Chilean Navy in the Pacific Ocean.
The coat of arms of Colombia contains a shield with numerous symbols. Perched on top of the shield is an Andean condor holding an olive crown and the condor symbolizing freedom. The national motto, Libertad y Orden, is on a scroll in between the bird and the shield in black font over golden background. The condor is depicted as displayed and looking to the right.

The coat of arms had been in used before 1856, but in that year the Sovereign State of Bolívar was created, and its symbols changed; the new coat of arms, would be the same as the coat of arms of Colombia but with a red oval around it, that read “ESTADO SOBERANO DE BOLIVAR”. In 1886 the states were suppressed and departments created instead, the symbols were used once again but the originals were corrupted and so there are some variations on the current coat of arms, and that which was specified on the blazon.
The coat of arms of Mexico is a national symbol of Mexico and depicts a Mexican (golden) eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake. The design is rooted in the legend that the Aztec people would know where to build their city once they saw an eagle eating a snake on top of a lake. The image has been an important symbol of Mexican politics and culture for centuries. To the people of Tenochtitlan, this symbol had strong religious connotations, and to the Europeans, it came to symbolize the triumph of good over evil.
