Shield Argent, a cork oak eradicated Vert, fruited and peeled Gules, in chief pair of scales Vert balanced by a flamy sword Gules and flanked by two millstones Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "SOBRAL DE S. MIGUEL".
Meaning:
Sword and scales are attributes of St. Michael, local patron saint and name giver of the commune. "Sobral" means "cork oak plantation" or "grove". Thus all these elemnts are canting.
