| Armiger | State of Baja California |
| Adopted | 1956 |
The coat of arms of Baja California was adopted in 1956, four years after it became a state (it was a territory before). The sun in the crest represents the state's energy and contains the text "Trabajo y Justicia Social" (Spanish for "Work and Social Justice").
At the top of the coat of arms is a sun representing the state's energy. On the left and right are a woman holding a test tube and a man holding a book. Together they are holding lightning bolts, to represent the power of culture and science. At the bottom is a person with their arms stretched out around farms, factories, gears and fish, to represent the industries of Baja California.
