The Coat of arms of Bolivia is a national symbol of Bolivia. It was adopted in its current form in 1825 and has undergone several modifications since then. The coat of arms is rich in symbolism, reflecting the country's history, culture, and natural resources.
Design[edit | edit source]
The coat of arms features an oval shield at its center. The shield is divided into three sections, each containing significant symbols:
- At the top, there is a depiction of Mount Potosí, also known as Cerro Rico, which symbolizes the rich mineral wealth of Bolivia.
- Below the mountain, there is a llama, which is the national animal of Bolivia and represents the country's fauna.
- To the right of the llama, there is a tree, symbolizing the rich flora of Bolivia.
- To the left of the llama, there are sheaves of wheat, representing the agricultural wealth of the nation.
Supporters[edit | edit source]
The shield is supported by six Bolivian flags, three on each side. These flags represent the unity and sovereignty of the nation. Additionally, there are two crossed muskets and two cannons behind the shield, symbolizing the struggle for independence and the defense of the country. An axe is also present, representing authority and justice.
Crest[edit | edit source]
Above the shield, there is a condor, which is a symbol of protection and vigilance. The condor is perched on a laurel wreath, which signifies victory and peace. Additionally, a Phrygian cap, a symbol of liberty, is placed above the condor.
Motto[edit | edit source]
The coat of arms does not feature a motto, but the elements within it collectively convey the values of independence, wealth, and natural beauty.
Historical Evolution[edit | edit source]
The coat of arms has evolved since its initial adoption in 1825. Various elements have been added or modified to better represent the nation's identity and values over time.
