Coat of Arms of Rybnik

Coat of Arms of the city of Rybnik in Poland features a pike against the blue background of a heraldic shield, silver (white) arranged obliquely, pointing towards the right-hand corner of the shield. Above and below the image of the fish two floral patterns are placed. The arms are an example of punning arms, since they derive from ryb, "fish". The coat of arms was passed by the Rybnik City Council on November 20, 2000.


[Azure a floral pattern of stems and flowers bendwise, a pike bendwise, a floral pattern bendwise, all in bend sinister argent]
