Shield Azure, three plants of bittercress Argent (Latin: Barbarea vulgaris) blossomed Or ordered 1:2, in base a watermill's wheel Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "SEBAL".
Meaning:
Acc. to "Toponímia de Coimbra e Arredores" the proper name "Sebal" is derived from Latin "sinapi" (= mustard). And the Portuguese name of bittercress literally means "mustard herb", a plant very common in the area.
