The coat of arms of Montecara is the official heraldic symbol of Montecara. The current version was adopted along with the Montecaran constitution on 11 June 1936 and is based on the traditional arms of Montecara that date back to at least the fourteenth century.
The design of the coat of arms consists of a shield bearing the same design as the flag of Montecara wreathed by branches of oak and laurel, representing endurance and virtue respectively. The crest at top is a civic crown, representing the status of Montecara's citizens as collective sovereign of their city-state.
As provided for in the Montecaran constitution, use of the coat of arms is the exclusive right of the Montecaran government:
The coat of arms is to be reserved for the use of the state and its organs. Laws and regulations providing for the licit and dignified use of the national symbols may be enacted.
