Official blazon
Sinisessä kentässä hopeinen kultavaruksinen hanhi, jonka alapuolella kultainen kruunu ja risti alakkain.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 22, 1965.
The goose refers to a boulder near the mouth of the river Pyhäjoki, named Hanhikivenniemi (= goose-stone). Towards the end of 15th century the Russians considered the boulder the border. The cross and crown are the boundary marks, carved into the stone.
