Dorado ("golden") - Its flag is composed of three
stripes of equal width, golden the upper and lower stripes, and
brown the center one. A brown, isosceles triangle is placed with
its base at the hoist. The golden stripes symbolize the town's
name, Dorado or "golden". The brown stripe stands for
Dorado's Patron Saint, Saint Anthony of Padua.

I guess the blazon might be: Or, five roundels 3, 1, 1 tenne,
each charged with a fleur-de-lys argent.
Lewis A. Nowitz, 18 June 2004
The correct color of this coat of arm is: the field is gold
and roundels are brown. fleur-de-lys are silver. Dorado's Coat Of
Arms was officially adopted March 27, 1978, and its colors are
gold, silver and brown. The crown is gold with brown windows. The
three towers mean that Dorado is a town, a properly constituted
municipality. Underneath the crown, we can observe five disks
that form a "T", which is called Tau. This
"T" represents San Antonio de Padua, which is
associated with the iris or lily flowers. The disks are brown and
the lily flowers are silver, they represent the majestic La Plata
River (The Silver River), which borders the town of Dorado to the
east. The gold background of the Coat Of Arms denominates in a
heraldic way the Talking Souls of the town. For example, in this
case, the gold represents the name of the town; it is relative to
the Patron San Antonio de Padua, whose veil is brown.
