The coat of arms of the city consists of a triangular shield with rounded edges, split. In the right, in red field, is a bridge supported by silver pillars above the waver water, all silver; on the bridge walk to the right a golden lion armed and with tongue. in the left, in blue field, is a square tower, embattled, silver, loaded with a cross above a crescent, both red. The tower is situated on a green terrace, exiting the silver waver water. Above the shield is a silver mural crown with 7 embattled towers.
Bridge means the Apollodorus of Damascus bridge. Lion recalls, on the one hand, the old insignia of the Roman legions, and on the other hand, that once Severin belonged to the Banat of Oltenia. Tower evokes the Medieval Severin Fortress and cross above crescent recalls the battles against the Ottoman Empire. Mural crown with 7 towers embattled town means that the city has the rank of county residence.
