Origin/meaning
The arms of Uri date from the early 13th century. The oldest known seal dates from 1249, but is probably older. It shows already a bull's head with a ring.
The first seal (used from 1249) |
The second seal (used from 1258) |
The third seal (used from 1353) |
The fourth seal (used from 1489) |
The bull was probably a canting symbol. The oldest Germanic tribes to settle in the area named the area Ur (wilderness). The land was inhabited by a kind of bulls, known as Urochs (Bos primigenus), the ancestor of our present cows.
The arms of the canton thus have basically not changed since.
The arms on a 1569 coin |
The arms on a 1610 coin |
The arms on a 1726 coin |
The arms on a 1811 coin |

Variations of the arms in the Kaffee Hag albums 1914-1960 |
