The Chygyryn coat of arms was granted together with the Magdeburg Law on October 15, 1592. The privilege gave "the city seal coat of arms – three arrows". In the new royal diploma of April 16, 1792 this coat of arms was confirmed and its color drawing was given – the field is white, the arrows are brown.
