Origin/meaning
Punia received city rights on November 10, 1791 by the King of Poland and Lithuania, Stanislaus Augustus.
The saint in the left half shows the image of St. Stanislaus, Bishop of Krakow, obviously taken as a symbol for the King. The origin or meaning of the horse shoe and arrow is not known.
The arms were abolished already in 1792 and restored and officially granted on June 7, 1989.
