The coat of arms of the municipality of Presidente Lucena is
based on Portuguese heraldry, which is the origin of Brazilian heraldry, with
its principles and symbolism. It was artistically elaborated with mystic and
allegoric rigor as required by usual heraldry, with colors obeying the following
codification. Or (gold) is a symbol of force and wealth; azure (blue), of
beauty; sable (black), of prudence; argent (silver), of history; gules (red), of
justice and honor; vert (green), of natural environment.
The coat of arms
features a sun or, representing birth, dawn, a new municipality, with its rays
illuminating everything, on a limpid and clear sky. The hills represent the
local topography. The buildings represent the town's skyline, with industries
and churches.
The open book reflects the main production of the community,
that is, education. God Mercury's helmet superimposed to a cogwheel is the
universal symbol of industry and commerce. The branches of olives surrounding a
handshake represent the successful unity in the process that culminated with the
municipality' emancipation. The colonist's family standing on a plowed field
recall those who built with their arms the municipality's income, and still
maintain it through agriculture.
The scroll gules represents protection and
justice. The maize plant and the sugarcane represent agricultural production.
The three-towered mural crown represents the three powers, Legislative,
Executive and Judiciary, and a third-rank town, seat of a municipality.
