National coat of arms of Moldova
The coat of arms of Moldova is the national emblem of the Republic of Moldova. It was designed by the Moldovan artist Gheorghe Vrabie.
The escutcheon's aurochs head accompanied by a rose, crescent and pointed star is derived from the coat of arms of the Principality of Moldavia. The heraldic supporter of an eagle with a cross in the beak is derived from the interwar coat of arms of the Kingdom of Romania. Most of Moldova's territory was part of Romania between World War I and World War II.

"Per fess gules and azure, an aurochs head cabossed overall, accompanied by a mullet of eight points between the horns, a heraldic rose to dexter and a crescent decrescent to sinister, all or; supporter, behind the shield: an eagle (heraldic, wings inverted) proper (golden brown), beaked and membered gules, holding in his beak a cross or, in his dexter talon an olive branch vert and in his sinister a scepter or."
