Descripción del reverso Emblem of the University of San Carlos de Guatemala. The Shield consists of two concentric circles, in the middle of which it reads `CAROLINA ACADEMIA COACTEMALENSIS INTER CAETERAS ORBIS CONSPICUA` Inside the central circle we can see: 1. The tiara and keys of the Pontificate, corresponding to the International category that was granted to him by Pope Innocent XI on June 18, 1687. 2. Portrait of San Carlos Borromeo, patron of the King of Spain, Don Carlos II. 3. Towers and lions, which correspond to the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Spain and which would come to represent the Kingdoms of Castilla y León. 4. Columns with PLUS ULTRA legend, which signify the high academic level of the University. 5. At the bottom, we can see the Apostle Santiago. 6. The three volcanoes; water, fire and acatenango.
