Symbolism
editThe shield is quartered with a small shield and a border. First, in a gold field, the Cerro de la Silla and on its summit a red sun, and in the foreground an orange tree in fruit; second, in a silver field, a rampant lion of red, crowned, lampasado and armed with gold; third, on a silver background and in natural colors, the old temple of San Francisco; fourth, in a gold field, five smoking chimneys, sable. On a small shield in a silver field, a sable chain around and a band of the same color. The azure border contains different weapons, all in silver; above are three golden bees on each side and below the name of the State of Nuevo León. Above the shield is a burnished, three-sided silver helmet with five grids. At the foot of the shield is a ribbon with the national colors, and the Latin phrase “Semper Ascendens” (Always Ascending) is written in sable letters, handwritten in the 16th century.
