Official blazon

Un scut triunghiular cu marginile rotunjite, tăiat. În șef, în câmp verde, se află un tun de aur, cu țeava îndreptată spre stânga. În câmpul inferior, pe fond roșu, se află un braț natural îmbrăcat în aur, ținând o scrisoare argintie, cu sigiliul roșu. Scutul este trimbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu un turn crenelat.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 9, 2006.

The green in the head signifies the forest wealth of the locality. The cannon refers to the revolutionary Pasoptist Gabor Aron, a cannon maker, born in this locality.

The arm holding the letter reminds that this locality was the border point, which also provided the postal service between Transylvania and Moldova.

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