Here is an image of the coat of arms with the name in Latin "Boyncza", coat of arms of the Jagiellonian dynasty (Q194355). --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 13:17, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Here are quotes from sources (translated into English):
Judging by the armorial and sphragistic material, in the 1430-1440s there were two types of this image of the Pahonia: Jagiello and his descendants have a horseman with a sword and "Boycha", Vitovt and Sigismund Kistutovich have a horseman with a sword and "Columns of Gediminas". It is interesting that in such a western coat of arms of the first half of the 15th century in the Codex Bergshammar, the latter version is presented as the coat of arms of the prince and the entire Grand Duchy of Lithuania. <...> Thus, the “Pahonia” coat of arms appeared as a result of a rather long process of heraldry (from the end of the 14th to the end of the 15th century) of an equestrian image from the portrait seals of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and its combination with the personal coats of arms of Vladislav Jagiello and Vytautas - “Bojcza” and “ Columns of Gediminas”.(source)
It was during the time of Jogaila that his personal coat of arms “boycha” was formed with the image of a double cross, which was a Byzantine Christian symbol that symbolized the victory of the Christian tradition in the politics and views of the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In the Orthodox tradition, a double, patriarchal, cross is considered a symbol of victory over paganism. (source)
