The coat of arms is prescribed in Article 27 as follows:
1. The coat of arms of Burgos Province, according to the Dispatch redacted on 24 September 1877 by Luis Villar Pascual, Chronicler of Arms, and approved on 9 November 1877 in plenary session, is the following:
"Per pale, 1. Argent the bust of a king proper crowned with a crown open or clad with a dalmatic gules charged with three castles or, a bordure gules charged with 16 castles or, 2. Gules a castle or masoned sable. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed [detailed description skipped]."
2. The provincial coat of arms dates back to the arms of the municipality of Burgos, which has been showing for ages on its seals, medals and coats of arms a shield argent charged with a king's bust and with a bordure gules charged with 16 castle or, and surmounted by a Royal crown.
Juan José de Salazar, in the epilogue of his historical notices on La Rioja, says that Burgos succeeded Oca as a settlement and a cathedral town, reusing its arms. Father Juan Mariana says that Burgos means in Latin "a small castle", and that its coat of arms recalls the aggregation of other castles and villages of the neighbourhood, because Burgos means in German "small villages".
3. The provincial arms differ from the town's arms by using dexter the same arms with a king's bust and a bordure made of 16 castles but sinister on a field gules a castle or representing the castles and settlements that were aggregated to form Burgos, the capital of the Province.
4. The coat of arms of Burgos Province shall be used on the provincial stamps, as well as on the balcony hangings used during the national, community, local and provincial feasts, and in acts whose exceptional meaning requires its presence.
5. The coat of arms shall also be used on:
a) The flags of the Province hoisted outside or displayed inside the provincial buildings
b) The provincial Regulations and Ordinances
c) The official communications of the Provincial Government
d) The accrediting diplomas of honour, distinctions and decorations
e) The official publications of the Government
f) The documents, prints, seals and notes of official use
g) The relevant uses by the provincial authorities and servants
h) The public buildings and objects of official use on which it should be shown for representative purpose
i) All municipal prints, publications and paperwork, as specified on the instructions and recommendations of the Manual of Corporative Identity of Burgos Province
j) The stone-made objects of official use on which it should be shown for representative purpose
6. The use and diffusion by any means of reproduction - printed, digital, filmed or photographic - requires the grant of a specific, written authorization by the Government. The interested parties shall ask the President, who may grant authorization, after previous recommendation and information of the Government Commission or of the Directorate of Protocol.
7. As a development of this Regulation, it may be possible to establish a Regulation of Corporative Identity and a Style Guide describing in detail the design and characteristics suitable for each support (correspondence, advertisement, web, public material, etc.) and how to proceed to use it.
The shield is placed on a white parchment, not mentioned in the
Regulation.
The king is Ferdinand III the Saint, wearing an open crown of the
time; the three castles on his dalmatic represents the jurisdiction
exerted by Burgos on Lara, Muño and Cellorigo. The castle of Lara was incorporated to Burgos in 1255 by Alfonso XI, as was the castle of Muño in 1332 by Alfonso XI; the castle of Cellorigo was incorporated to Burgos in 1370 by Henry II. The king is represented as caput castellae, which means the Head (as the ruler) of Castile, recalling that Burgos was once the capital of Castile and the seat of the Royal court. The sinister part of the shield is the traditional heraldic representation of Castile.
