Comments

The coat of arms of Moldova consists of an eagle holding a cross in its beak and a sceptre and an olive branch in its claws. The Central shield has an aurochs head (wild cattle) with a star between its horns. It also contains two lozenges (the ears), a five-petaled flower and a moon in a crescent phase.
