The coat of arms of Ven�ncio Aires is prescribed by Municipal Law No. 675
promulgated on 4 September 1970.
Article 2.
A Portuguese shield with a
blue background, representing the firmament, bordered in dark blue. In the
firmament's center, a mate calabash, characterizing the fraternity, friendship,
tradition and wealth of Ven�ncio Aires' people, complemented by a handshake, the
universal symbol of human fraternity. The calabash is brown, which also
represents Ven�ncio Aires' soil. The green mate represents the Capital of Mate.
Ven�ncio Aires was discovered by Azorean colonists in the late 18th century, who
found mate herb in the rainforests lining streams Castelhano and Sampaio. The
first calabash mate introduced to Porto Alegre came from Van�ncio Aires, and the
region soon became a mate producer. A scroll of brick color is placed beneath
the shield, inscribed with "Ven�ncio Aires", the municipality's date of
foundation and the name of the state. Beneath the scroll, the writing "Capital
Nacional do Chimarr�o", in green. The shield surrounded on each side by a
tobacco plant proper. The four-towered mural crown argent represents the town as
a county seat.

The coat of arms was originally prescribed
by Municipal Law No. 500 promulgated on 26 December 1963, which was abrogated by
the aforementioned Law.
Article 1.
A shield containing a calabash with
straw and mate, surrounded by two branches of flowering tobacco, the
municipality's main crop. Mate appears in the calabash, representing the
municipality's main production and symbolizing the traditional use of calabash.
The calabash features a yellow stripe charged with two symbols: Industry and
Education, representing the municipality's resources. The brown color of the
calabash represents Ven�ncio Aires' soil. Beneath the shield is placed a green
scroll with the municipality's name and date of political emancipation. The
