About the Cuba coat of arms:
Created by Miguel Teurbe Tolon, and adopted on April 24, 1906, the Cuba coat of arms consists of a shield, in front of a Fasces crowned by the Phrygian Cap, all supported by an oak branch on one side and a laurel wreath on the other.
The shield is divided into three parts:
A key charging a blue sea between two rocks, symbolizing Cuba's geographical position between Florida and the Mexican peninsula of Yucatan. A bright sun rising in the background symbolizes the rising of a new republic. The key is a symbol of Cuba as a key to the Americas.
On the left are the stripes of the Cuban flag, while on the right is a common Cuban landscape, symbolized by a royal palm tree and mountains in the back.
