Aruba’s Coat of Arms has been in use since November
15, 1955. The design was created by "Atelier voor Heraldische Kunst,"
of Amsterdam, Holland, but it was later altered to reflect of the symbols of Aruba.
The following are the components of the Coat of
Arms:
The Aloe is the symbol of the
first source of prosperity of Aruba
Hooiberg (Aruba’s second
highest point of elevation and its most recognizable landmark) symbolizes Aruba rising out
of the sea.
The handshake is the symbol
of the friendly ties Aruba enjoys with other nations and people, both on the political and
economic level.
The gear symbolizes industry.
The cross in the center
represents devotion and faith.
The lion, sitting atop the
Coat of Arms, represents power and generosity.
The laurel leaves are the
symbols of peace and friendship.
