Shield Argent two roe deers addorsed Sable animated Gules, in chief a scent bottle Azure garnished Or, issuant from base a mound of three coupeaux. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading
in black upper case serifed letters "SEBADELHE DA SERRA".
Meaning:
The scent bottle stands for St. Mary Magdalene, patron of the Catholic parish this commune was nominally derived from.
The roe deers, depicted as bucks even though the blazon speficies does, might plainly refer to its local abundance or may (also) refer to local history or legend, but that I don´t know.

Shield Argent two barrulets wavy Azure, in chief a ripped cape Gules lined Or, in base an oven Sable masoned Argent and open Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading
in black upper case serifed letters "TERRENHO".
Meaning:
The word terrenho is an archaic/regional adjectival form of terra, meaningearth, land, soil or dirt.
The ripped cape stands for St. Martin of Tours, patron of the Catholic parish this commune was nominally derived from.
The blue waves stand for the Teja River, which flows northwards on the eastern part of the commune. The oven likely stands for baking.
