Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?
The lion is derived from the arms of the Kingdom of Léon, as the city was conquered from the Moors by Alfonso VII of Léon, who, probably, also granted the city rights to Coria. The use of the Royal crown is also attributed to the liberation by Alfonso.
The bordure represents the 8 fortresses that defended the territory of Coria : La Almenara, Marmionda, la Atalaya, Godos, Racha-Rachel, Ramiro, la Milana and San Juan de Mascoras.
