The flag of the state of Guanajuato is, like most current Mexican state flags, the coat of arms centered on a white field.
The coat of arms of Guanajuato was granted by King Charles I of Spain, who also granted arms to the city of Guanajuato. It shows an image of Santa Fe de la Granada, which symbolizes the triumph of the Catholic Monarchs over the muslims. Holding the shield from the bottom are a shell and two laurel branches on a marble base.
