Origin/meaning
Doorsneden I in goud twee bergen met afgesneden top van azuur, de eene schuin achter den anderen geplaatst. II van sinopel. Over I en II een golvende dwarsbalk van zilver. Het schild gedekt met een gouden kroon van drie bladeren en twee paarlen. Schildhouders : twee leeuwen van goud, getongd en genageld van keel. Wapenspreuk : "Montes prosperitatem vident" in gouden latijnsche letters op een lint van azuur.
The arms show the two volcanoes Wilis and Lawu. The Madiun river is shown as a wavy bar. The green part symbolises the green fields in and near the city. The motto Montes prosperitatem vident (The mountains are witness to my prosperity) and the supporters were not taken in the new arms of the city.
