Blazon: på blå bunn et omvendt sølv gaffelkors.
In English: Azure a pall inverted argent.
Approved by the royal resolution of 8 December 1961 after a drawing by Paulus
Holm. [c2j87]
The design represents the Glomma river flowing from joins of the Østerelv and
Vesterelv rivers.
BTW, the
site shows the mayor's chains of various former municipalities of
Fredrikstad.
Particularly interesting is the old emblem used as the coat of arms of the Onsøy
municipality that was not approved and eventually replaced by the cairns one in
1988. The previous arms shows a golden O-rune in a blue disk over blue waves. I
don't think that this was documented in sources we have.
