Description

English: Coat of arms of Costa Rica.

Español: Escudo de la República de Costa Rica, descrito y adoptado por medio de las leyes del 27 de noviembre 1906 y 21 de octubre de 1964
desde 5 de mayo de 1998.

El Escudo Nacional representará tres volcanes y un extenso valle entre dos océanos y en cada uno de éstos un buque mercante. En el extremo izquierdo de la línea superior que marca el horizonte habrá un sol naciente. Cerrarán el Escudo dos palmas de mirto, unidas por una cinta ancha de color blanco y contendrá en letras doradas la leyenda “República de Costa Rica”. El espacio entre el perfil de los volcanes y las palmas de mirto lo ocuparán siete estrellas de igual magnitud, colocadas en arco que representarán las provincias de San José, Alajuela, Cartago, Heredia, Guanacaste, Puntarenas y Limón. El remate del Escudo lo formará una cinta Azul en forma de corona en la cual en letras plateadas figurará la leyenda “América Central”.

En cuanto a las especificaciones de color, en el Diario Oficial del 5 de mayo de 1998 se considera lo siguiente:

Además de las especificaciones contenidas en la ley supracitada los colores del Escudo son: el valle: verde claro; los volcanes: verde azul como son las montañas de Costa Rica. Se dibujaron los volcanes humeantes para diferenciarlos. El sol naciente es color oro viejo y las palmas de mirto verde oscuro. Las cinco estrellas que luego cambiaron a siete serán plateadas y el listón azul claro. El mar es color azul.

	21:40, 16 Lweti 2012	827 × 905 (204 KB)	Fry1989	They are the same file except for some colour alterations
	17:58, 16 Lweti 2012	84 × 89 (129 KB)	Green Mostaza	Reverted to version as of 21:21, 15 November 2012: They're not the same image because the code is different. Also, that seconde image is not sourced, and so it isn't proven that it is in public domain like the original image. Please, do not upload it...
	02:41, 16 Lweti 2012	827 × 905 (204 KB)	Fry1989	Absurd, they're the same thing
	21:21, 15 Lweti 2012	84 × 89 (129 KB)	Green Mostaza	Reverted to version as of 21:18, 18 May 2010. As it was pointed before, the new CoA is not from the same source and not necessarilly PD. If it is then upload to new filename with the appropriate source and proof of license.
	21:37, 7 Lweti 2012	827 × 905 (204 KB)	Fry1989	one other fix
	03:00, 7 Lweti 2012	827 × 905 (203 KB)	Fry1989	some minor fixes, otherwise this is a great step up from the previous one
	02:05, 7 Lweti 2012	835 × 910 (189 KB)	Shartz2	Reverted to version as of 17:28, 16 May 2010. It looks much better, and the other version´s colors are not as exactly as the other one.
