Sobre un fondo de azur se pude ver la Cruz de los Ángeles engalanada con piedras preciosas, y siendo adoradas por dos ángeles en posición arrodillada. Todo ello rodeado por unos bordes plateados en los que se encuentra unas letras mayúsculas romanas que dicen: MUY NOBLE-MUY LEAL, en la parte izquierda, BENEMÉRITA, en la zona superior, INVICTA-HEROICA, en su lado derecho, para rematar con BUENA en su parte inferior. El conjunto de ambas cosas queda rematado con una corona real de oro y piedras preciosas.
