The Nicaraguan coat of arms was adopted first on 21 August 1823 (as the coat of arms of Central America), but underwent several changes during the course of history, until the last version (as of 1999) was introduced in 1971.
Meaning
The triangle signifies equality, the rainbow signifies peace, the gorro frigio symbolizes liberty and the five volcanoes express the union and brotherhood of all five countries in Central American countries.[1]
