Coat of arms of Medellín (Colombia)

1901:. "As a general rule, all treatises point out proportions of five equal parts of width by six equal parts of height for the Spanish coat of arms. These proportions are for anatomical reasons, since in the 12th century the average height of Spaniards was between 1.50 and 1.60 meters.
