Official Coat of Arms of Mexico - Symbolism and History #2251344 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized rendition of Mexico’s national coat of arms depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus (nopal), devouring a rattlesnake-a symbol rooted in Aztec legend of Tenochtitlan’s founding. The emblem is framed by an oak branch on the left (symbolizing strength) and a laurel branch on the right (representing victory), all rendered in the tricolor green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
