The coat of arms of the municipality of Aiud, according to annex no. 1, consists of a cut shield, having the upper part split; in the first quarter, on the red field, there is a golden gate equipped with a cross and two medallions containing popular golden motifs; in the open space of the gate can be seen a bunch of grapes and a vine leaf, also of gold; in the second quarter, on a field azure, a silver griffin, tongued red, holding with the right claw a sword, and with the left a scale, both of the same metal. In the lower part, on a gold background, an open, natural book. The shield is stamped by a silver mural crown consisting of five crenellated towers.
