===Origin/meaning=== | |||
In the vicinity of silver ore mines a new miners' community was established which developed rapidly and in 1318 it was granted first rights of a royal mining town by King John of Luxemburg. In 1392 King Wenceslas IV awarded the town its arms. | |||
The crowned Bohemian lion indicates that the town belongs to the Bohemian kingdom while the rising black eagle is meant to represent the authority of the Roman Empire; the crossed mining hammers held by the lion and the eagle and the King's crown express the status of a royal mining town. The Hussite chalice was added to the coat-of arms during the reign of King George of Podebrady. | |||
The arms were also sometimes shown held by two miners in medieval frocks or by two nuns, see below. | |||
