What does the Venezuela's coat of arms stand for?

Answer 1

The Coat of Arms of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will keep in its body the colors of the National Flag in three sections:

The left section will be red and will contain sheaf of wheat with as many branches as there are states in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as a symbol of the Nation's wealth and union.

The right section will be yellow and as emblem of victory, will contain a sword, a spear, an arch and an arrow, inside a quiver a machete and two national flags entwined by a crown of laurels.

The third section will be blue, will occupy the entire bottom area of the Coat of Arms and will contain a indomitable white horse, galloping toward the left and facing the front, as an emblem of independence and freedom; adopting for such effect the figure of the horse contained in the Federation's Coat of Arms, dated July 29, 1863.

The Coat of Arms will have for a stamp, as a symbol of abundance, the images of two entwined cornucopias joint in the middle, places horizontally, full of fruits and tropical flowers and in its lateral sides the figures of a bunch of olive leafs to the left and a palm to the right, joint in the center to the Coat of Arms by a band with the three national colors. In the band's blue stripe the following words will be inscribed with golden letters: to the left "April 19, 1810" and " Independence"; to the right "February 20, 1859" and "Federation" and in the center "Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela".
