In the blue shield thare three green muntains wi three siller touers, that is decoratit wi a weather vane wi a siller ostrich feather. The touers seembolise the three citadels o San Marino (La Guaita, La Cesta an La Montale), while the hills represent the three summits o the Monte Titano. See: The Three Touers o San Marino
The slogan "LIBERTAS" (Lat. freedom). It possibly refers tae the takin in o victims o poleetical persecution in the earlier years o San Marino, an tae the amazin maintenance o unthirldom in the midst o mony lairger states. The slogan coud hae developed frae the alleged last wirds o the foonder Marinu "Relinquo vos liberos ab utroque homine" (Lat. "I leave ye free frae baith men").^[1]
An aik an laurel branch, whilk surroonds the coat o airms are seembols for the stability o the republic an the defence o the leeberty.
