 Inside the larger shield there is a smaller shield, divided party-per-cross, the first and the fourth quarter argent, the second and third sable.Above the shield is a gold mural crown, symbolizing the status of the city as Municipality.The shield has remained relatively unchanged in history – the only changes since the 19th century have been the replacement of a baroque cartouche with a shield, the replacement of a gold crown with diamonds with a mural crown, the removal of the supporters (two sable horses) and addition of the Romanian revolutionary flag after 1989.
