Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 2, 1951.

The arms are based on the seal of the Nya Kopperberg hundred, known since 1640. The arms show the many local rivers and symbols for the copper mining and melting ovens (flames). To distinguish the arms with those from Ljusnarsberg, a bordure was added.
