====Official blazon====
 
 
====Origin/meaning====
The arms were granted on August 15, 1924.
 
The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, which dates from 1293. The seal is very unique, as it had separate images on both sides. On the one hand stood the image of a city wall with gate rising from seven hills, on the other a Viking longboat. In the mid 14<sup>th</sup> century a new seal was used, which only showed the gate and hills. Even though the shape and size of the gate has changed considerably during the centuries, the composition itself has not changed.

The seven hills on the seal  symbolise the seven main mountains surrounding the city : Sandviken (417 m), Fl&oslash;yen (320 m) , Bl&aring;manen(552 m), Ulriken (643 m) , L&oslash;vstakken (477 m) , Damsg&aring;rsfjellet (317 m) and Lyderhorn (397 m).
