The coat of arms of Balancán was created by Prof. Miguel Nazur Bolívar. It should be noted it is unclear if he did this as an official work, through a contest, etc.; it is only known that it was adopted when his children were young. Description from Wikipedia:
The coat of arms of Balancán, Tabasco, is divided into two principal sections. It is crowned in the upper part by the National Coat of Arms, which represents the sovereignty of Mexico.
In the left section, a yellow jaguar is found with black spots, which symbolize the wealth of local fauna and the connection of the municipality with its natural environment. In the lower part, two herons situated over water reflect the biodiversity and the importance of the wetlands, rivers, and lagoons of the region. The crossed machetes allude to effort, work, and the agricultural history of the municipality.
The right section presents three towers united by water currents, representing the principal rivers of the municipality, like the Usumacinta; similarly the importance of water as a vital resource and element of connection in the region.
In the center, an oval coat of arms complements the design with elements that reflect the economic activities and the natural resources of the municipality. These include a river, a wooden trunk, a head of corn, and a cow. The river symbolizes the wealth in waters; the wooden trunk, the importance of the forest's resources; the head of corn, the agricultural activity; and the cow, cattle-raising as one of the economic pillars of Balancán.
