== Coat-of-arms ==
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times. They were granted on 7 October 1975. The arms show a green background with three silver-colored tree [[trunk (botany)|trunks]] ({{langx|no|askekaller}}) and are thus [[canting arms]]. The trees are [[Fraxinus|ashes]], which were cropped every year to provide food for the animals. The trees thus developed after many years a very typical shape, which was characteristic for the area.<ref>{{cite web|author=Norske Kommunevåpen|year=1990|title=Nye kommunevåbener i Norden|url=http://www.ngw.nl/int/nor/a/asker.htm|access-date=17 December 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asker.kommune.no/Ditt-Asker/Askers-kommunevapen/|title=Askers kommunevåpen|publisher=Asker kommune|access-date=17 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090125012037/http://asker.kommune.no/Ditt-Asker/Askers-kommunevapen/|archive-date=25 January 2009|url-status=dead|language=no}}</ref>
