Coat of arms of Honduras

The coat of arms of Honduras

The coat of arms of Honduras was adopted in 1825 and is still valid today. It was slightly modified in 1935 . It is similar to the Guatemalan coat of arms from 1843. The coat of arms shows the triangular coat of arms of the Central American Federation in an oval with a volcano between two golden towers. The towers represent the defense readiness and independence of the country. The triangle symbolizes equality and freedom. Behind it is a sun and a rainbow. Around the oval is the motto Republica de Honduras Libre Soberana e Independiente , i.e. Free, Sovereign, Independent Republic of Honduras . On the oval lie two horns of plenty and a bundle of arrows. The arrows remind of the Indian inhabitants of the country. Under the oval is a landscape with oaks , pines, farm implements and tools for mining - symbols for the natural wealth of the country.
