Decision No. 391, 30 September 2015
Green is the heraldic color of destiny, hope,
nature, freshness, hunting and youth.
The embattling symbolizes the state
border and alludes to the border fortresses of medieval Moldova.
The eagle is
a reference to the Roman ancestors, as one of their main emblems, featured on
the banners carried by legions. Gold is the same as during the Antiquity. The
eagle has a cross in the beak, being the Romanian eagle, recalling the
spirituality individualized over the centuries from the Roman eagle.
The axe,
an old battle weapon used in heraldry to threatened the enemy, warns those who
would try to cross the border illegally. The key recalls that the border of
Moldova can be closed or opened by the will of the Border Police, depending on
the intentions of those who would like to cross it.
The eagle bears on the
chest the coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova, connecting the state and one
of its instruments.
