Reported by Juan Manuel Gabino Villasc�n, October 06, 2001.
The coat of arms consists of a squarish samnitic (�french�)
shield divided per fess and lined or (the lining includes the dividing
line!). The I is argent, a mountain peak in natural colors (no snow)
between a church bell at dexter and a phrygian cap (?) at sinister. The II
is chequy of azure and azure (!), a drum and its sticks or lined sable and
ornamented argent, vert and gules (national colors), on a ground (water)
argent with waves (?) and fishes (?) of the same. Behind the shield, two
flags with poles crossed in saltire: the
current national flag at sinister
and a blue background rectangular variation of the
Guadalupe banner at dexter.

General Hidalgo�s flag shows
in the current official state
coat of arms (in a suitable rectangular variant, since that �flag�
was in fact a church banner with the Virgin of Guadalupe).
