The arms are known since the first half of the 15<sup>th</sup> century. Originally the pine trees were beeches. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century the number of trees was often reduced to a single tree with a squirrel in the top (see f.e. also [[Vimmerby]] in Sweden). The actual meaning of the arms is not known. The present colours are derived from the money issued in Auma in 1921, as no historical colours were known. Those showed a blue field, which was not heraldically correct (see below), the field was therefore changed to silver. | The arms are known since the first half of the 15<sup>th</sup> century.
