Argent three Roses Gules barbed seeded slipped and leaved proper issuant from
Coupeaux Vert.
Željko Heimer, 10 March 2001
In 1941 the Meienberg commune changed its name to Sins (but kept the emblem), which is derived
from the old German sind (way, path, footbridge). It alludes to the bridge over the Reuss
river.
The three flowers on the emblem represent a bunch of flowers, which is called Meien in vernacular.
So the emblem was canting with Meien and Berg (mountain)
(source).
