Official blazon

Un scut triunghiular roșu cu marginile rotunjite, încărcat cu un căprior de argint, cu coarne de aur, ieșind dintr-o coroană deschisă de aur; căpriorul este străpuns de o săgeată neagră, cu vârful și coada de aur. Partea superioară (șeful) neagră, undată, este încărcată cu trei lacrimi de argint. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu un turn crenelat.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 11, 2013.

The arms represent the fact that the territory of the locality was part of the princely hunting domain (15th-18th centuries).

The deer also refers to the name of the locality, which in the Slavonic language means "goat".

The black chief with the three tears shows that the Prut river, which became a border, divided the locality in two in 1812, the eastern part now being part of Moldova.

The mural crown with a crenellated tower means that the locality has the rank of commune.
