MADIUN

Province : Jawa Timur

Coat of arms (crest) of Madiun
Official blazon
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms are based on the old colonial arms, with additions of a wreath and some symbol (I have no idea what) in the base.

Colonial arms

The arms were officially granted on AOctober 13, 1931.

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.
