coat of arms
The coat of arms of Petropawl shows a Shangyraq (Kazakh шаңырақ), the crown of a Kazakh yurt . The three symmetrical lines that cross in the middle of the coat of arms are the roof poles (Kazakh Уық / uyq) of Shanghai. This Shangyraq is framed by a traditional pattern that is supposed to represent the folk art of the Kazakh people. At the bottom of the coat of arms is the inscription Петропавл (Kazakh for Petropavl). In addition, the coat of arms contains four symbols that best characterize the city at the beginning of the 21st century: at the top a key symbolizing the city's geographical position as the gateway to the north of Kazakhstan. On the right is a sheaf of wheat that represents the city as the center of the agricultural region in northern Kazakhstan. At the bottom there is an open book as a symbol for education and culture. Finally, on the left side, there is a gear that stands for industry and technology. The two colors of the coat of arms are gold and blue-green .
