Shield Vert, a pair of scales Argent balanced by a sword Or between a baron´s coronet Or gemmed Gules in chief and two almond branches Or blossomed Argent crossed per saltire in base.
Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "BARÃO DE S. MIGUEL".
Meaning:
Scales and sword are attributes of St. Michael, name giver of the commune and local patron saint. The coronet is alluding to a baron. These elements are thus canting.
