Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on May 27, 2015.
The arms show the volcanic landscape surrounding the city. The supporters are St. Peter and St. Paul, after which the town is named.
The arms were first granted on April 26, 1913.
In this first version the supporters were not yet present and two anchors were placed behind the shield, indicating the importance as a harbour city,
The supporters first appeared on the arms adopted on September 27, 2006.
As the supporters were seen to 'holy' the arms were changed slightly on October 18, 2006.
These arms were confirmed on June 19, 2003 after the change of Kamchatka Oblast to Kamchatka Krai.
The arms were changed again to the current arms when the city received the status of 'city of military glory'. This is symbolised by the two crossed swords behind the shield.
Several designs of the coat of arms of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky were used on souvenir badges in the 1970s-1990s, all without official status.
