hello?
Remember to capitalize the name of deities, ethnic groups (Aztec), and languages (Nahuatl).
I think that the article has shaped up really well! But I'm a little concerned about "The Eagle" section. It seems a little muddled, I'll try to work on it a bit, but the whole thing seems a little off. -- RyGuy17 09:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC) EDIT: Ok, so I edited the best that I could, if anyone feels that I should have done it differently, feel free to make changes.

I've heard that the choice of whether the eagle faces right or left was an issue of debate—has anyone else heard of this or have any sources for that? -- Spangineer es (háblame) 02:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
It hasn't been an issue, at least recently. The last time that the Eagle's orientation changed was way back in 1910. There is an issue, however in the Venezuelan coat of arms, which has been recently changed. It features a Horse, running towards the left. Originally it was running towards the Right. It has mostly to do with current politics in Venezuela. In Mexico, no, it is not an issue. Hlecuanda 21:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I would argue whether this article is about a coat of arms at all. The eagle and snake on the cactus are undoubtedly a national emblem, but that is not what constitutes a coat of arms. I would argue that Mexico uses no coat of arms. The articles scope should be limited to the accepted use of the term which usually requires that an emblem center around a shield. As such, Mexico has only historic coats of arms, used during the first and second empires.-- dave-- 13:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
The description of the elements leave out these details. Looks to me like oak leaves on the left, and who knows what on the right. Anyone offer info here? 76.200.144.168 03:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
should the influence on the Seal of Illinois be mentioned here? 67.176.160.47 ( talk) 07:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
According to the article, Rafael Martín del Campo identified the bird as 'the Northern Caracara or "quebrantahuesos"', which are actually two different birds altogether. Is there a way we can clear this up? 2CrudeDudes ( talk) 22:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
God. I still don't get what is written. What i understand is : "This is a gold eagle, but they drawed a caracara. But the gold eagle is the official symbol." I'm right? Can someone write something more clear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.162.222.148 ( talk) 12:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
I would like to suggest the page Seal of the United Mexican States be merged back to this page. Since the Seal is a version of the Coat of Arms of Mexico, and only has one small paragraph, I don't believe it really needs a spinoff. Fry1989 ( talk) 22:51, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

"...the design and color of the snake on the modern coat of arms do not correspond with those of any species of snake...."
The snake looks to me like it's pretty obviously meant to be a Western Diamondback, Crotalus atrox, a common species of rattlesnake through much of northern Mexico. The one thing I can see that's really wrong is that the tail really ought to be banded in black or dark brown and white, not tan (or beige or khaki or whatever the official name is for this colour in a blason) and white, but that's pretty minor since it's obviously not intended to be an exact photographic-or-nearly-so image. Is there something I'm missing here?
Also, I can't recall ever having seen Quetzalcoatl portrayed in Aztec art specifically as a rattlesnake. IIRC he is often depicted with a feathered tail tip, which doesn't look very rattle-esque (in addition to being a lot quieter). Mia229 ( talk) 16:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Pictured is the coat of arms of Mexico, which depicts a Mexican golden eagle devouring a rattlesnake while perched on a prickly pear cactus. The eagle and snake motif is rooted in an Aztec legend.Illustration: Juan Gabino; vectorisation: Alex Covarrubias
Um... What is the meaning of Mexico's colours on there flag? 207.204.103.53 ( talk) 22:06, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
