Aconchi's coat of arms was adopted in 1993 and designed by Baltazar Degollado Durón. It was adopted through a call from the state government under Governor Manlio Fabio Beltrones and Deputy Daniel Trellez. Description of the symbol according to the Municipal Chronicler:
The coat of arms is marked on the sides and upper part by the trunks of a pine tree which are part of the flora which we have in our mountains, you will see at each side picking at the trunks two woodpeckers which are forming parts from the trunks, making an allusion to the furniture industry of the municipality.
In the upper part is the year of 1639 which is when the community of Aconchi, Sonora was properly established by the Jesuit father Bartolomé Castaño, we can also see the crucifixion of the Black Christ of Aconchi who is the man of Esquipulas celebrated the 15th day of January every year; at the background the mountain range of Aconchi is valued, being the highest in Sonora and the sun setting.
To the center the name Aconchi, in the lower part we will see an indigene who represents our roots as people, we also see the start of thermal waters which is our principal tourist attraction, which the Sonora River also crosses, in the other side a woman knitting by hand is valued, which was the preponderant economic activity in what was the 19th and start of the 20th centuries, where they knitted sombreros, shoes, bedrolls, and all classes of palm tree products which were sold in the region of the Sonora River but also in Magdalena, Nogales, and the high mountains.
To the center of the lower part, the monument to the general Francisco Contreras is valued. B: who participated in the revolution, dying as a hero in the battle of Celaya Guanajuato beside the general Obregón also Sonoran. Very important to mention the coat of arms that appears in the lower part pertains to the order of Franciscans.
