===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 28 September 1990 and they were in use until 1 January 2018 when the municipality was dissolved (the same arms were re-adopted for the new [[Indre Fosen]] Municipality after the merger of Leksvik and [[Rissa Municipality]] on that date). The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Per chevron]] [[embowed]] [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]] and [[argent]] point ending in [[Trefoil (heraldry)|trefoil]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått en innbøyd sølv spiss som ender i et kløverblad}}). This means the arms have a [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) that is [[division of the field|divided by a line]] in the shape of a [[Chevron (insignia)|chevron]] with curved sides that meet at a point. A [[Trefoil (heraldry)|trefoil]] is located on top of this point. The background above the line is blue and the background below this line has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The blue part represents the [[Trondheimsfjord]] and the white/silver part represents the land, particularly the Amborneset peninsula where King [[Sverre of Norway|Sverre Sigurdsson]] fought his last sea battle on 8 June 1198. There is a [[clover]]/trefoil design at the end of the silver part which represents life and growth. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjærvold.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Leksvik |access-date=2023-02-12 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Leksvik, Nord-Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-17-18.html |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1990-12-09 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1990-09-28-820 |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
