The design is a representation of a bell from an old smelter house in the municipality. Smelter house was working in Tolga from 1660 until 1871. The actual bell is inscribed "Tolgen schicht clock anno 1708" and was produced in Amsterdam. A copy of the original bell is today displayed at the top of the building in municipal center as well as in the municipal building.
