Coat of Arms

Shield Or divided per pall Argent fimbriated Sable, in base a pine eradicated Vert fruited Gules at both sides of the pall. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials:"VILA DE PINHAL NOVO".
Meaning:
The pines are canting elements, and the pall probably is symbolising an important railway junction in the commune.
