{{Main|Coat of arms of Lima}}
The [[coat of arms of Lima]] was granted by the [[Monarchy of Spain|Spanish Crown]] on 7 December 1537, through a ''[[real cédula]]'' signed in [[Valladolid]] by [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor]] and his mother, Queen [[Joanna of Castile]]. It is formed by a main field [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]], with three [[Crown (heraldry)|gold crowns of kings]] placed in a triangle and above them a gold star that touches the three crowns with its points, and in the [[Orle (heraldry)|orle]] some gold letters that say: ''Hoc signum vere regum est (This is the true sign of the kings).'' Outside the shield are the initials I and K (Ioana and Karolus), which are the names of Queen Joanna and her son Charles V. A star is placed above the letters and two crowned [[sabre]]-faced eagles embracing them, which hold the coat of arms.
