In the early 2000s the following arms were used by the town, but these were later discontinued and the 1930 arms were restored.

The first attempt for arms was made in 1856 when the arms below were proposed. These arms show three magpies (canting for the name in Russian) and in a free canton the Bessarabian provincial arms. These arms were not approved.
