Kultakentässä sininen, alainen aaltokoroinen palkki, jonka yläpuolella musta punavaruksinen näätä pystyasennossa.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 25, 1951.

The arms show a marten, which is derived from the old name of the town (noki-näätä means a kind of marten). The blue bar symbolises the Nokia creek, a tributary of the Kumo river .
