Coat of Arms

from: http://uh.ms.km.ua/Time1/chernivtsi/endex.html located by Jarig Bakker

In 1994 the regional council of Chernivtsi confirmed a regional emblem. A shield is cut with gules and vert. In the right half there is a town emblem of Chernivtsi, in the left half there are three put one of the other beech nuts. The shield is crowned with an argent Old Slavonic falcon and is framed with a wreath of the beech branches which are connected with a azure-and-yellow ribbon.
