The arms were officially granted on November 10, 1922.
Mustasaari received city rights in 1611 and at the same time received its new name, based on the name of the Royal (Swedish) dynasty Vasa. The arms were also derived from the royal arms and showed a canting vase.
The seals of Mustasaari until 1610 show a fish, whereas the seal of 1611 already shows the vase.

Kene, showing the arms of the Romanov family (adopted by Nicholas I), a red griffin with sword holding a shield with the monogramme HI (H being the Russian letter N). In the upper right corner the provincial arms and behind the shield two anchors. These arms were not adopted.
