This Quarter, enameled in Gules for indicate to the Audacity, the Courage, the Intrepidity and the Sacrifice, presents as victory trophies seven beams of lances which reminds the "lanceros" (lancers) groups that under the orders of General Jose Antonio Páez (represented in the beam of the center jointly to those who followed him directly) realized the strategic movement that El Libertador Simón Bolivar got to describe like "the most extraordinary feat that can celebrate the history of the nations" on the memorable site of "Las Queseras del Medio" (something like "the middle's lands cheese factories") on April 23rd, 1819.

The Quarter of the Base enameled in Sky-Blue (variation of the heraldical Azure or blue), presents a horse in its color, oriented to the sinister and raised on a terrace of Vert (green) loaded with an waving bend in Argent to the sinister, all accompanied on the Sinister-Chief by a five-pointed star and two clouds in Argent (white).

The star that appears between the torn clouds alludes to the Clarity, the Integrity and Shine of the Virtues which animate the existence of the settlers of the region and reminds too the old Province of Barinas: one of the signers of the Act of the Independence of Venezuela on 1811 and whose territory shares at the moment the states Apure and Barinas.

As external ornaments, the Coat of Arms presents a radiating sun raising from the Chief whose disc charges the ephemeris "23 DE MAYO DE 1819" (May 23rd, 1819) in capital Roman letters of Sable (black) as crest and as supports a palm branch to the dexter and another one of laurel to the sinister jointed under the Base with a pennant in Or (yellow) charging as mottoes the ephemeris "17 DE JULIO DE 1823" (July 17th, 1823) to the dexter; "14 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1864" (November 14th, 1864) to the sinister and the denomination "ESTADO APURE" (Apure State) on the center: inscriptions made in capital Roman letters of Sable (black).

The sun remembers the so called "Sol de Colombia" (The Colombian Sun) under whose shine was developed the decisive action of "Aldea de los Setenta" (something like "The Seventy' Village") during the National Emancipation War and whose ephemeirs shows the solar disc. The laurel branch is symbol of triumph and the palm one alludes to the eternal victory, whilst the pennant enameled with one of the patriotic colors in the Venezuelan Independence War, proudly shows the name of the State and two of its more important ephemeris.
