• Source: 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.
