===Official blazon=== | |||
*(sk) V modrom štíte zlatý, zlato korunovaný lev v striebornej zbroji a s roztrojeným chvostom, v pravej prednej labe s červenou zlatostredou a zelenokališnou ružou na zelenej dvojlistej stopke, z pravého spodného okraja štítu vyrastajúce tri zelené rastliny. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially | The arms were officially registered on May 5, 1992. | ||
The composition of the lion holding a rose is already known form the oldest seal of the city, dating from 1604. The lion is a canting element (lev=lion). The meaning of the rose or the small leaves is not known. The arms thus basically have not changed. | |||
The only other variant is in the archives in Budapest, where the lion is holding a mace instead of a rose. This, however, probably is a misinterpretation of the original seal. | |||
The city currently uses the arms with a bicoloured bordure, based on the colours of the flag. These arms are not officially registered in the official Heraldic register of the Slovak Republic. | |||
