The coat of arms of Moldova consists of a stylized eagle holding a cross in its beak and a sceptre and a branch in its claws. It is based on the coat of arms of Romania.
The chest of the eagle is protected by a shield that bears the traditional insigns of Moldavia: an aurochs head with the sun among its horns. It also contains two rhombus, a five-petals flower and a moon in a new moon phase. Everything on the shield has one of the three traditional colours: red, yellow, blue.
The coat of arm appears in the centre of the flag of Moldova.
