Shield Vert, a charcoal kiln Sable smouldering Gules and Or, in chief a Maltese cross Argent. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "CARVOEIRO - MAÇÃO".
Meaning:
The commune's name means either "coal bearer" or "coal merchant". The kiln is thus canting. The cross is alluding to the Order of the Knights of Malta.
