Flag

The council informed me that they adopted a flag during the administration of Araceli Pérez Granados (2021-2024).

Coat of Arms

from portalsocial.guanajuato.gob.mx

The current coat of arms is a simplified from the original version. Over waves alluding to the Cebolletas Dam, a crossed axe for domestic use (especially in forests) and ear of wheat for agriculture. Through it is a crozier used by the Franciscans, carrying a gourd for water. The base is shaped like a duck tail, colored red, to honor the people in the Battle of Barranca de Coroneo where the Insurgents won in 1815.

Alternative Coat of Arms (modified from the original version?)

From coroneo.gob.mx

It appears this coat of arms of Coroneo was adopted in 1953, likely for the 200th anniversary of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla's bicentenary of birth, from a few months before the capture of Alhóndiga de Granaditas; the municipality was asked to adopt one by the state government for this occasion and designed by José Ríos Velarde; he created a document describing it in 1986. It should be noted the displayed version appears to be a modified version from the original too.

The shield has rolled edges, and is placed over a stone-like figure. The top and upper edges to the sides have decoration. At the top is a ring that carries in its inner area, a crossed axe for domestic use, crozier of a Franciscan holding a gourd for water, and laurel branch for victory over grass, with its base being a duck tail remembering the Battle of Barranca de Coroneo of 1815; resulting in an Insurgent victory. In the center, a framed portrait of Juan Bautista de Orozco on horseback carrying a flag in war. Around this portrait is a ribbon that reads the motto "CONSTANCIA UNION SACRIFICIO" [Constance, Union, Sacrifice]. At the bottom are two leaves from which a rose emerges. Under this is a rectangle that reads "VI-24-1532"; possibly meaning its date of foundation, but in reality it happened in 1537.
