Description: Coat of arms of Moldavia under Prince Scarlat Callimachi (ca. 1812). Layout and tinctures based on the Callimachi throne in Sfântul Spiridon Church, Iași; aurochs head based on a bull issued by Callimachi in 1814. Both works are found in Sorin Iftimi, Vechile blazoane vorbesc. Obiecte armoriate din colecții ieșene. Iași: Palatul Culturii, 2014. ISBN 978-606-8547-02-2. Iftimi hypothesizes that the coat of arms may have been painted by Eustație Altini, and that the flags in supporters may show the flags of vassalage, granted by Sultan Mahmud II (pp. 13–14). Cyrillic abbreviations read IѠ AΛ. CК. КΛ. В.В., namely: "IO [princely title] ALEXANDRU SCARLAT CALLIMACHI VOIVODE".
