El Salvador's coat of arms packs a lot into one triangle: five volcanoes for the old Central American union, a rainbow of peace arcing overhead, a Phrygian cap on a staff for liberty, all ringed by a sun and the date of independence, 1821. That emblem sits on a plain blue-white-blue field, the same base pattern its neighbors carry from their shared federal past.
What 🇸🇻 means
