The coat of arms of Calkiní was created in April of 1999 by the young painter Jorge Anchevida Chan, done through a contest organized by the council and held by its Education, Culture, and Sports Department. The committee for reviewing entries consisted of: Municipal President José Estrada Mijangos; Alonso Reyes Cuevas, director of Education, Culture and Sports, as president; Jorge Huchín Kantún, head of the Department of Culture, as secretary; Rafael Cuevas Medina, head of the Department of Education; Jorge Pech Salazar, head of the Department of Sports; and Andrea Palomo Cuevas, support staff. 41 entries were received, with the contest starting in February and the deadline on 16 April. On 24 April, the winner was announced; an awards ceremony was held on 2 May. Description according to the municipal transparency website:
In the central part, a Hispanic arch of stone symbolizes the subjugation of the Mayan people before the invader. Tzab Canul, the biggest of our brothers, emerges from the Halim well, source of life; its upper extremities filled with trees roof the sky in sinople (green); the four branches in each hand, the amplification of his domains. In the lower part, two hands sustain two ears of corn in tribute, fruit of the land, original sustenance and mold of the race. In the contour, hieroglyphics and the intercalation of artisanal allegories; a jug, a sombrero, an open book, and watercolor set: the ancient language, intertwined with expressions from today of culture. The figure is marked by a pair of scrolls: the city and the chiefdom Ah Canul; of the last, two laurel branches (the victory over time), which flow in a contrary manner, between lines which have the likeness of a sun at the base of a trophy (pride of Mestizaje facing the future).
