Kruunu: herttuakunnan kruunu."

Official blazon in Swedish: "I fält delat av blått och guld en upprest, svart björn med krona av guld och röd bevåring, i ramarna hållande ett svärd av silver med fäste av guld samt på vardera sidan i övre fältet åtföljd av en sjuuddig stjärna av silver. Skölden krönes med grevskapets krona."
