Seal of Michael the Brave
The seal comprises the coats of arms of the three Romanian principalities: in the middle, on a shield the Moldavian
urus, above Wallachian
eagle between sun and moon holding cross in beak, below Transylvanian coat of arms: two meeting, standing
lions supporting a sword, treading on seven mountains. The Moldavian shield is held by two crowned figures.
There are two inscriptions on the seal. First, circular, in Cyrillic
Old Bulgarian "
IO MIHAILI UGROVLAHISCOI VOEVOD ARDILSCOI MOLD ZEMLI", meaning "
Io Michael Voivode of Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia Land". Second, placed along a circular arc separating the Wallachian coat from the rest of the heraldic composition, "
NML BJE MLRDIE", could be translated "
Through The Very Grace of God".
