You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Coat of arms of Peru''' is the national symbolic emblem of [[Peru]]. Four variants are used: the Coat of arms ''per se'' (''((lang|es|Escudo de Armas))''); the National Coat of arms, or National Shield (''((lang|es|Escudo Nacional))''); the Great Seal of the State (''((lang|es|Gran Sello del Estado))''); and the Naval Coat of arms (''((lang|es|Escudo de la Marina de Guerra))'').

==Official description==
Peruvian law describes the coat of arms as follows:<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www2.congreso.gob.pe/sicr/cendocbib/con3_uibd.nsf/6E1277485DC359E5052579670074BD9E/$FILE/Ley_1825_02_25.pdf |title=Ley del 25 de febrero, Art. 1 |access-date=2020-06-11 |archive-date=2020-06-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611031624/http://www2.congreso.gob.pe/sicr/cendocbib/con3_uibd.nsf/6E1277485DC359E5052579670074BD9E/$FILE/Ley_1825_02_25.pdf |url-status=live ))</ref>

:''"The arms of the Peruvian Nation shall consist of a shield divided into three fields: one [[azure (heraldry)|celestial blue]] to the right, with a [[vicuna]] looking inside; other [[argent|white]] to the left, with a [[Cinchona officinalis]] placed within, and another, [[gules|red]], in the bottom and smaller, with a [[cornucopia]] pouring coins, signifying with these symbols the treasures of Peru in the three realms of nature. The coat of arms shall be surmounted by a civic crown in flat view; and accompanied on each side by a flag and a standard of national colors, further described below."''

==Variants==

===The Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] (''((lang|es|Escudo de Armas))'') has a [[palm branch]] on its left and a [[Bay Laurel|laurel]] one on its right, tied by a red and white ribbon, as well as a [[Quercus ilex|Holm oak]] [[civic crown]] above it. These represent victory and glory. This variant is used on the [[Flag of Peru#National ensign (state flag)|national ensign]] (''((lang|es|Pabellón Nacional))'') or state flag. Its use on its own is infrequent, except on [[Peruvian sol|currency]], both on coins and bills, and stamps.

===The National Coat of arms===
The National Coat of arms, or National Shield (''((lang|es|Escudo Nacional))''), consists of the shield plus a [[Flag of Peru|Peruvian flag]] and a standard on each side, and a Civic Crown as [[crest (heraldry)|crest]]. It is used on the [[flag of Peru#War flag|war flag]] (''((lang|es|Bandera de Guerra))''). Its use on its own is mandated for all public buildings, with the name of the entity under it.

===The Great Seal of the State===
The Great Seal of the State (''((lang|es|Gran Sello del Estado))''), consisting of the National Shield and the semicircular inscription "((lang|es|República del Perú))" ("Republic of Peru") above it, is used on official documents.

===The Naval Coat of arms===
The Naval Coat of Arms (''((lang|es|Escudo de la Marina de Guerra))''), consists of the National Shield and the semicircular inscription "((lang|es|Marina de Guerra del Peru))", along with anchors instead of the traditional flags it is embedded upon, as well as having an image of the sun as the crest. It is used for various naval purposes.

==History==

=== First version ===
[[File:Coat of arms of Peru (1821-1825).svg|thumb|First version (1821–1825)]]
The first version of the Coat of Arms of Peru was designed by General [[José de San Martín]] and officially declared on 21 October 1820. It consisted of a landscape of [[Inti]], the sun rising from the [[Andes]], seen from the sea, and escorted by laurel branches tied with a golden ribbon.

In the shield, on a blue sky background, the sun's yellow rays can be seen behind the dark brown mountains rising above the blue and green ocean.

The flags of the South American nations and a banana tree can be seen behind the shield. A [[condor]] on the left and a [[llama]] on the right act as supporters.

This was on top of a [[baroque]] base, with a scroll under it with the [[motto]] "''Renació el sol del Perú''" ("Peru's sun is reborn") in capital letters. Some flowers, branches and ammunition were on the base.

===Second version===
[[File:Escudo peruano.jpg|thumb|Second version (1825–1836, 1839–1950)]]
[[File:Escudo de la República Peruana (1825-1950).svg|thumb|Third Coat of Arms until 1950.]]

On 25 February 1825, [[Simón Bolívar]] and the Constituent Congress proclaimed a law defining the new national symbols. establishing the new Coat of Arms, similar to the one used today. This was designed by [[Congress of Peru|Congressmen]] José Gregorio Paredes and Francisco Javier Cortés. The official description was the following:

:''"Las armas de la Nación Peruana constarán de un escudo dividido en tres campos (forma polaca), uno azul celeste, a la derecha, que llevará una vicuña mirando al interior; otro blanco, a la izquierda, donde se colocará el árbol de la quina; y otro rojo inferior y más pequeño en que se verá una cornucopia derramando monedas, significándose con estos símbolos, las preciosidades del Perú en los tres reinos naturales. El escudo tendrá por timbre una corona cívica vista de plano; e irá acompañada en cada lado de una bandera y un estandarte de los colores nacionales, señalado más adelante."''

:"The arms of the Peruvian Nation shall consist of a shield divided into three fields (Polish shape), one light-blue, to the left, which will carry a vicuña looking inwards; another white, on the right, where a cinchona tree will be located; and another red below and smaller in which a cornucopia will be seen spilling coins, signifying with these symbols, the richnesses of Peru in the three natural kingdoms. The shield shall have as crest a Civic Crown seen flat; and shall be escorted on each side by a flag and standard of the same national colors, described later."

====Within the Peru-Bolivia Confederation====

File:Coat of arms of the Sul-Peru State (1836-1839).svg|Coat of arms of [[South Peru]].
File:Coat of arms of the Nor-Peru State (1836-1839).svg|Coat of arms of [[North Peru]].
</gallery>

From 1836 to 1839, Peru was temporarily dissolved into the Republics of South Peru and North Peru, which joined [[Bolivian Republic (Peru-Bolivian Confederation)|Bolivia]] to form the [[Peru–Bolivian Confederation]].

The South was formed first, thus adopting a new coat of arms: A golden [[Inti|inti sun]] with five small stars above it (representing Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cuzco, Litoral and Puno, the four groups of the republic) and four flags behind it. The North used a variant version of the original coat of arms.

After the dissolution of the Confederation, the old Republic of Peru was restored to its 1836 composition, as were its national symbols.

====1950 modification====

This is the coat of arms used today and is a modification of the second version. Until 1950, the coat of arms was a symbol of both the nation and the state, and presented some difficulties in its design. These generated that, months after its creation, that the seals of ministries modified the law, cutting the width of the shield to design the cornucopia comfortably, and getting rid of the escorting flags.

The last modification was in March 1950, during General [[Manuel A. Odría]]’s administration. In this way, the coat of arms was split in halves, and the lower section became the largest, rather than the smallest. The national coat of arms was created simultaneously as a heraldic symbol of the State.
