Shield Gules divided by a fess wavy Azure fimbriated Argent, in chief a coronet Or, in base two skins of leather Argent ordered fessy. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "RIO DE COUROS - OURÉM".
Meaning:
The name of the commune means "river of leathers", thus the fess wavy and the skins are canting.
