It is unknown when the coat of arms was adopted. The coat of arms has the same form as the coat of arms of the State, having at the top a helmet and at the bottom a ribbon in the National Colors reading MARIN N.L. The sides read the words PROGRESO Y CULTURA; at the bottom are the years 1684 and 1807; when it was founded and when it became a Villa, respectively. The upper-left section depicts the facade of the Municipal Building. The upper-right section depicts a crowned red rampant lion, a symbol of the state. The lower-left section depicts a bovine in front of a stream, with a field and hills in the distance; this is a representation of cattle-raising and agriculture. The lower-right section depicts the Our Lady of the Assumption church. Finally, in the center is an inescutcheon, with a red border carrying X's, carrying in its inner section a flaming torch over a book over waves. This remembers the shield of the Marín surname; the fourth bishop of Linares (now Monterrey), Primo Feliciano Marín y Porras, is who the municipality is named after. The book and torch are for education.
