* TREE: The Tree is a symbol of Ancient and Clarified Nobility.

* ROUNDLE: The Roundles symbolize the bucklers that the soldiers carried as a defensive weapon.

* FUSIL: The Fusil is a symbol of Righteousness, Prudence and Equity and of the conveniences achieved through these virtues; it serves as a hieroglyph for those who gathered many goods using lawful and upright means.

* LAUREL: The Laurel is a symbol of Good Fame, and due to the perpetual greenness of its leaves, of Imperecedera Victoria.
