Shield Argent charged with five bars wavy Azure, over all a bend Gules charged with three crescents Or. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "RIO DE MOURO".
Meaning:
The bars wavy (river) and the crescents (Moor) probably are canting elements, symbolizing the town's name, which means "river of the Moor".
