I believe it is Latin. EX VIRTUTE BONOS.

Roughly, it should mean "From valour [you will get] good [things]". That is, be good, and life will be good to you. But it could mean other things, depending on circumstances, so I'm not absolutely sure.
Virtus = courage, virtue, goodness, worth, valour.
Bonus = good. Bonos is plural masculine accusative of the adjective. I would have expected neutrum here för "good things", so I'm not sure what omitted object the "bonos" actually refers to. Maybe it's a standard phrase. Or a family name??
