Azure two Snakes Argent in saltire bowed embowed reguardant.
Željko Heimer, 31 October 2002

[The snakes form together something like the figure 8, and that's no coincidence. This has a military background: According to a source from 1689, the Thal district communes belonged to the fourth and fifth company of the second regiment of the Solothurn militia army. The figure 4 at that time was written like an 8 open at the bottom; the figure 5 resembled an angle. The most emblems of the Thal district show either derivations of the figure 4 (Balsthal, Laupersdorf) or 5 (Aedermannsdorf, Herbetswil, Matzendorf, Welschenrohr)]
