The coat of arms of the Department of Bolívar is the official coat of arms of the Department of Bolívar. The coat of arms had been in used before 1856, but in that year the Sovereign State of Bolívar was created, and its symbols changed; the new coat of arms, would be the same as the coat of arms of Colombia but with a red oval around it, that read “ESTADO SOBERANO DE BOLIVAR”. In 1886 the states were suppressed and departments created instead, the symbols were used once again but the originals were corrupted and so there are some variations on the current coat of arms, and that which was specified on the blazon.
