Shield parted per chevron revesed of Or and Vert, in chief an eagle Gules armed Sable flanked by two pales wavy Argent fimbriated Azure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "VALVERDE - AGUIAR DA BEIRA".
Meaning:
The partion per chevron reversed or, if you prefer, chausse of Argent and Vert in Portuguese heraldry usually means a valley. The name of the commune means "green valley". Thus the "V" together with the green colour is a canting element.
