Coat of arms of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship

The coat of arms of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland depicts a red griffin with yellow (golden) beak and claws on a white (silver) background.

[1] The coat of arms consists of a red griffin with a yellow (golden) beak and claws standing in the combat position, within a white (silver) Iberian-style escutcheon.

Subsequently, the red griffin on the white background became the symbol of the Duchy of the Pomerania-Stettin.

The design was based on the red griffin present on the banner used by the forces of Casimir V, duke of Pomerania-Stettin, during the Battle of Grunwald in 1410.

[1] On 11 August 2000, the project was approved by the Heraldic Commission, and on 23 October 2000, adopted by the West Pomeranian Voivodeship Sejmik.
