Official blazon

  • (1952) Kultakentässä seisova karhu pidellen molemmin käsin päänsä yläpuolella pitkällään olevaa tynnyriä, jonka ylälaidassa olevasta tapinreiästä nousee liekki; kaikki mustaa paitsi karhun varukset ja tynnyristä nouseva liekki punaiset.
  • (2013) Sinisessä kentässä nyhäkoroinen kärki, josta nousee kaarisakarainen risti; molemmat hopeaa.

Origin/meaning

After the merger of 2013, the new municipality uses the old arms of Töysä.

The previous arms were officially granted on August 12, 1952.

The arms show a bear taken from the old seal of the Storkyro parish, to which the village originally belonged. The flaming barrel refers to the production of tar in the municipality.
