Coat of Arms

[Corval commune CoA] image by Sérgio Horta, 14 Dec 2010

The arms are Argent an olive tree eradicated Vert fruited Sable and in chief three jars Gules. Mural crown argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "CORVAL".
Meaning:
"Corval" means "place of crows" (or of ravens) in Portuguese, though probably not this toponym´s etym. Either way, arms neither canting nor punning.
