The first coat of arms of the city was adopted by the Zemstvo Assembly in 1912, but was never officially approved. Its reconstruction was published in the collection "Kryvyi Rih in postcards, documents, photographs". The coat of arms of the Soviet era was approved in 1972. The shield is beveled on the right, azure and red. In the first part there is a silver chemical plant, in the second - a silver mine with spoil heaps. The red head is burdened with the name of the city Argent in Ukrainian.[1]
