From 1920-1940 the old arms were restored, but all arms were prohibited after Lithuania was incorporated into the Soviet Union. In 1968 attempts were made to restore the old arms, but that was not allowed. The present arms were granted on April 17, 1991. The arms as shown above are the great arms of the city.
