In the latest issue of VDCN's Info-Bulletin (no.89) if found this: "Arms Melilla: Lightblue shield with two baskets (chessliked in the colours red-gold), from those black snakes are crawling out. The border shows alternate the arms of Castile (on red a golden castle) and of Leon (a purple lion on silver). Above the shield a golden crown with a golden tower on wich is standing a knight in white clothes and a sword. On his chest a red cross. Further it shows a white ribbon with the motto: Praeferre Patriam Liber Parentem. Between crown and shield (in black) the name of the city. On both sides of the shield two pillars of Hercules, on those pillars in red: Non Plus Ultra. Below the shield a green dragon."
