Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 16, 1998.
The arms are derived from the arms of the last Lord of Moissey, the Marquis of Chappuis-Rosières, who owned the estate until August 1789. To distinguish the arms of the town from those of the family, a silver mountain in the base was added. The mountain was a canting element, the name Moissey is derived from the Latin Mont Iacum (Mont=mountain).
