The current coat of arms of Guatemala was adopted after the 1871 Liberal Revolution by a decree of president Miguel García Granados. It consists of multiple symbols representing liberty and sovereignty on a bleu celeste shield.[1] According to government specifications, the coat of arms should be depicted without the shield only when on the flag,[2] but the version lacking the shield is often used counter to these regulations.[3][4]
