Coat of Arms of Piła

The Coat of Arms of the Polish city of Piła features a red (sometimes brown) deer jumping towards the left (heraldic right) on a green field. It has been first featured on a stamp of the City Council issued probably in 1571. Initially the deer was jumping towards right (heraldic left) side of the shield; this was changed in 17th century. During the Partitions of Poland the local German authorities sometimes used also a modification of the Coat of Arms featuring a crowned deer.

The modern version of the CoA has been passed by the City Council of Piła in 1990. Colours used on the emblem are also used on the flag of Piła.
