Official blazon

Escut caironat: d'argent, 3 trèvols de sinople. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 23, 1989.

These arms are canting, according to the ethymology of the village. Freginals is said to be derived from vulgar Latin "farraginales", that's forage fields, and because of this the arms show three clovers or trefoils, a common sort of forage.
