Summary

Description
Català: Escut de Mèxic.
Deutsch: Wappen von Mexiko.
Español: Escudo Nacional de México, conforme con el modelo diseñado por Francisco Eppens Helguera y adoptado oficialmente por el Decreto del 17 de agosto de 1968, ratificado por la Ley sobre el escudo, la Bandera y el Himno Nacionales, vigente desde el 24 de febrero de 1984. El blasonamiento quedó descrito oficialmente en el artículo 2.º de dicha ley que a la letra dice: «El Escudo Nacional está constituido por un águila mexicana, con el perfil izquierdo expuesto, la parte superior de las alas en un nivel más alto que el penacho y ligeramente desplegadas en actitud de combate; con el plumaje de sustentación hacia abajo tocando la cola y las plumas de ésta en abanico natural. Posada su garra izquierda sobre un nopal florecido que nace en una peña que emerge de un lago, sujeta con la derecha y con el pico, en actitud de devorar, a una serpiente curvada, de modo que armonice con el conjunto. Varias pencas del nopal se ramifican a los lados. Dos ramas, una de encino al frente del águila y otra de laurel al lado opuesto, forman entre ambas un semicírculo inferior y se unen por medio de un listón dividido en tres franjas que, cuando se representa el Escudo Nacional en colores naturales, corresponden a los de la Bandera Nacional».
