The Flag and Arms of Mexico
The Flag and Arms of Mexico. The coat of arms features an eagle, holding a serpent in its talon, perched on top of a prickly pear cactus situated on a rock that rising above a lake. This scene is derived from an Aztec legend that the gods would tell them to build a city where they spot an eagle and a serpent, which became Mexico City
