Coat of arms of Medyn

"In the azure, sixteen golden bees : four times four."

The coat of arms can be reproduced in two equally valid versions: without a crown and with a status territorial crown of the established pattern. The version of the coat of arms with the status territorial crown is applied after the adoption by the Heraldic Council under the President of the Russian Federation of the procedure for including images of status territorial crowns in the arms of municipalities.

The emblem is a vowel, since the name of the product produced by the bee is honey, indicates the name of the city. The historical emblem of the county city Medyn, approved on March 10, 1777, is taken as the basis for the modern coat of arms of Medyn. The original description reads as follows:

"The blue shield, sown with golden bees, expressing abundance in these, in the circumferences of this city and the most named onago."

Azure (blue) in heraldry is a symbol of honor, glory, devotion, truth, beauty, virtue and a clear sky.

Gold is a symbol of wealth, greatness, strength, intelligence and insight.
