Sectioned off old comment

In the explanation of the coat of arms its say:

The F and the arrows (flechas in Spanish) represent Ferdinand II of Aragon while the Y and the yoke (yugo in Spanish) represent Isabella I of Castile.

Its suppose to said The F and the yoke (yugo in Spanish) not the arrows and the Y and the arrows (flechas in Spanish) not the yoke. That’s the way the picture is represented.

I also remembered it differently, so I checked the Spanish Wikipedia. The yoke (and F) are symbols for Ferdinand of Aragon, and the arrows (and Y) are symbols of Isabella of Castille. Thanks for pointing it out. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 21:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The description of the coat of arms says that the flag represents Aragon and Sicily, but the flag depicted in the image is that of Castile and Leon. The flag on the image of the Seal is different and matches that of Aragon and Sicily. I'm not sure what's correct but there seems to be a conflict. Sir1 (talk) 16:53, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Y and the yoke represent Yoanna I of Castile"?

According to the official government's site 1 the Y represent Isabella I but the latest version of this article says that "Y and the yoke represent Yoanna I of Castile" without providing sources. --Jmundo (talk) 05:42, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History

I noticed an earlier edit changed the intro in order to specify that it is the "second oldest coat of arms in the Americas" following Santo Domingo's in 1508. I recommend expanding the history section in order to add that sort of information instead, along with how Puerto Rico's came about in 1511. I understand the main point is that Puerto Rico's national coat of arms is the oldest still currently in use in the Americas since other colonies changed theirs upon independence.FiscalCrisisPR (talk) 21:28, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
