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 arms in a 16th century manuscript |
 The arms in the Wapen- en Vlaggenboek van Gerrit Hesman (1708) |
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 |
 |
