What is the meaning of your national symbols?

Hello my friends!

Hope you are doing well!!! Today I came up with this idea. Explain a bit about national symbols. In the case of Peru is this shield.

This photo represents the national symbol of Peru, its shield.

In the upper left, of a light blue color, a passing vicuna, natural, contoured - looking towards the sinister (inside the shield). In the upper right, of argan (silver), a natural quina tree. At the base (the lower field), of red, a gold cornucopia spilling gold coins.

The shield fields represent the natural resources of Peru: the vicuña represents the animal kingdom; the quina tree represents the vegetable kingdom and the cornucopia, the mineral kingdom. The crown symbolizes victory in peruvian battles.

The quina tree, now endangered, became very important in the years when malaria (or malaria) ravaged the Peruvian people and the dust extracted from its bark was used to cure the disease.

What about your symbols?

Best wishes, Marco

Nice idea @marcorp ! I had to look for the symbols in the Argentinian shield because I didn’t remember that well, honestly. I was left in awe at their meaning and how important is to honor the values of our country’ founders every day.
