Coat of arms of Colón province, Panamá, according to FOTW:
The coat of arms of Colón is presented on the municipal website as designed by Carlos Villaláz upon request by Mayor Juan Demóstenes Arosemena. The shield is divided per fess. The upper half shows a 15th century caravel, recalling the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Colombus. The lower half shows on a golden field a phoenix bird emerging from flames, as a symbol of eternity. The shield is flanked by a palm and a laurel branch, symbolizing progress and triumph, respectively. The phoenix indeed recalls that the town was burned down and subsequently rebuilt twice, in 1885 during the Colombian Civil War, and, accidentally, in 1915.
