The center section of the coat of arms contains the Isthmus of Panama with its seas and sky, in which the moon begins to rise above the waves and the sun begins to hide behind the mountain. The head is divided in two quarters: in the one of the right hand, a sword and a gun are hung; in the one of the left-hand side, a crossed shovel and a grub hoe. The end of the coat of arms also is divided in two quarters: the one of the right-hand side, shows a cornucopia, emblem of the wealth; and the one of the left-hand side, the winged wheel, symbol of the progress. Behind the shield and covering it with his opened wings, is the eagle, emblem of the sovereignty. On the tape the following motto is printed in Latin: 'For the benefit of the World'.
