No Flag

The council informed me they do not use a municipal flag.
Daniel Rentería, 14 July 2025

The council informed me their coat of arms was adopted in 1974 for the 400th anniversary of its establishment, being designed by Ramiro Jasso Carbajal; her original design is seen on an obelisk in the Pedro Antonio de los Santos street. It was adopted through a call for submissions held by the Municipal President at the time, Juan Zuñiga Duque (1974-1976). The border of the shield has rolled edges and is brown. Under it is a silver ribbon that reads CHARCAS; under it S.L.P. in black letters. The inner area is a rectangle composed of four quadrants. The upper-left quadrant depicts the old bridge of the town. The upper-right quadrant depicts the San Francisco church for faith. The lower-left section depicts the Monument to Christ the King (or Monument of the Century as it was finished at the end of the 19th century). The lower-right quadrant depicts an observatory recognizing it as a meteorite site.

Original Coat of Arms

It is unclear when the original winning design was modified. For the four quadrants (placed inside a shield), they are, from upper-left to upper-right and so on: the San Francisco church for faith; the Monument to Christ the King (or Monument of the Century finished at the end of the 19th century); a crossed pick and shovel for mining; and a sheep for ranching and associated industries. Going through the lower two quadrants is a hill representative of its environment. Under this is a ribbon reading Charcas S.L.P.
