YUCATÁN

Arms (crest) of Yucatán

Official blason

En campo de sinople, ciervo elanzado de oro, con sol moviente del mismo metal, surgiendo del ángulo siniestro del jefe. En punta: planta de henequén de oro, terrazada de piedras o lajas del mismo metal. Bordura de oro con dos arcos mayas y dos espadañas coloniales españolas, colocada en jefe y punta, diestra y siniestra, respectivamente.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 1, 1989.

The deer and the Mayan arches allude to the pre-Hispanic roots of the Mayan inhabitants of the state and the Spanish belfries to the colonial era. The agave plant represents the most important cash crop in the region that had its boom in the second half of the 19th century.

Until 1989 the state used the arms of the city of Yucatán.
