When Veliuona received city rights in 1792 the arms were described as a carp with wolf's fangs, and also that this was the old symbol of the city. The carp is likely a symbol for the Nemunas river, which is rich in fish. The fans are probably derived from the arms of Stephanus Bathory, who had renewed the town rights in 1580. The arms were used until the end of the 18<sup>th</sup> century and were finally restored after the renewed independence of Lithuania. | When Veliuona received city rights in 1792 the arms were described as a carp with wolf's fangs, and also that this was the old symbol of the city.
