February 1994 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on
18 February 1994 in the official gazette of Castilla-La Mancha, No. 12,
p. 854 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:
Coat of arms: Per fess, 1a. Argent a pear tree proper eradicated, 1b. Gules a pillory argent, 2. Azure a single-arched bridge argent over waves. The shield surmounted by a Spanish Royal crown.
The Royal Academy of History accepted the proposed coat of arms "without
objection".
The Academy rejected the flag, which features the pear tree (peral)
that makes the arms canting in different colors. The duplication of
emblems cannot be admitted. The Academy recommended either to remove the
pear tree or to move it to the white stripe, represented in green, which
was done.
