We just learned about the Mexico State of Chiapas.
Another Mexico state is Nuevo León, which means New Lion, and is named after the state in Spain called León.
This state is north part of Mexico, and has one small 9 mile stretch where it connects to the US at the state of Texas.

The coat of arms for Nuevo León shows the Cerro de la Silla mountains, next a lion for the state's name.
Below that is the temple of San Francisco which was part of Nuevo León but is now in Texas.
Next to the temple are chimneys showing the workers of Mexico.
In the borders are old weapons from the warriors from long ago, and chains for the group of all the people working together.
On the bottom is a ribbon that says "Semper Ascendens" which means "Always Ascending".
