What the new Sculeni coat of arms shows: a bridge over the Prut and a golden stagecoach
The village of Sculeni, in Ungheni district, has gained its own official symbols — a coat of arms and a flag, approved by the commune council, endorsed by the National Heraldry Commission and entered in the register by presidential decree in early 2026. On the azure shield, a stone bridge crossed by a horse-drawn stagecoach points directly to Sculeni’s history as a crossing point and customs post on the Prut. The authors are state heraldist Silviu Andrieș-Tabac and Andrei Gaidașenco.
