This coat of arms in relief is placed on the facade of the building of the Maritime Station of Vigo.
It is the coat of arms of the 2nd Republic, which took place in Spain from 1931 to 1939.
The differences between this coat of arms and the current one are not remarkable. The most characteristic feature is the crown, which is open here and closed in the current coat of arms.
