The coat of arms of Ostry originate from around the 16th or 17th century, during Weranic control of the island, and were officially adopted as a symbol in 1995. The emblem first appeared in the Leitfaden für Symbole und Bräuche der nördlichen Länder der ostischen Königreiche, first published in 1626. The coat of arms appear on many buildings dating to the early 19th century, around the same time that it became popular with Ostrins as a symbol of the island.
