Randaberg's coat of arms and flag are blazoned in Norwegian: I blått 14 sølv
mynter langs randen; that would say Azure 14 plates in orle. (or if you prefer
"Azure 14 bezants argent in orle" to retain mentioning coins, and such
expression is no unheard of, even if not in accordance with the strict
traditional English heraldry.)
The symbols were approved by the royal resolution of 26 June 1981 after a
drawing by Truls Nygaard preliminary design by Magnus Hardeland. The latter
designed a number of other Norwegian municipal coat of arms/flags, and is a
known Norwegian painter of portraits and landscapes (1905-1982). The former is a
known heraldic expert, also author of a number of municipal arms, and cf. his
bibliography on FOTW: [nyg64], [nyg66], [nyg74] (and hopefully
some of our
Norwegian contributors may tell us a bit more - as it seems that are a rock artistic
of the same name that confuses the search engines over here.
The design is canting, as in "rand" - the orle, the border or edge (as being on
the outer edge of the Boknafjord). The silver coins are said to represent
pebbles, as could be found on the beaches and numerous burial mounds there.
