Origin/meaning:
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome ! The arms are derived from the arms of the city, granted on April 28, 1826, see below.

The city was part of Romania between 1918 and 1940. The arms below date from the Romanian period and were designed in 1930.
The arms symbolise the historical Romanian/Moldovian fortress in the town. The small shield shows the arms of the Romanian province of Moldova, see now the National Arms of Moldova

In 1872 B.Kene designed new arms for the city. I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms (see below), except for the first quarter, which shows the arms of the Besarbska Province.
