"It was confirmed in October, 10th, 2003 by the decision #95 of village council session. Per fess; or, vert hill, above it is gules paty cross; azure, or tench. The shield enframed by or cartouche and crowned by or village crown. The author is Yu.Terlets'kyi.
Or tench ("zolotyi lyn'") is the associative symbol which specifies the name of village. The hill and a cross are connected to a legend about an old cathedral and its disappearance. Azure means the Horyn' river.
