After the division of Unterwalden, Obwalden continued the old arms until the mid 18<sup>th</sup> century. In 1747 the key was first added to the shield. The key itself was already used in 1291 on a seal of the territory Unterwalden ob dem Wald, the later Obwalden. All later seals showed only the key, but always without a shield. The key itself is the symbol of St. Peter patron saint of Unterwalden. | After the division of Unterwalden, Obwalden continued the old arms until the mid 18<sup>th</sup> century.
