Šamorín new Coat of Arms

image from this page, reported by István Molnár, 26 Mar 2001

Šamorín as a town with rich history had its seal already at the beginning of 15th century. This seal is today kept in Budapest. The Town Council in 1989 ordered new modified coat of arms to be created by Ladislav Ciserik, a specialist on heraldry. The Council discussed on July 2nd, 1993 the proposal of the newly designed form of the mentioned coat of arms and accepted its following description: Virgin Mary with a golden crown on her head, dressed in long purple clothes and also wearing a blue coat with golden decoration on its edge, sits on a golden desk and holds the symbols of coronation in her right hand. She holds the child in her arms. Around the head of Jesus the glory can be seen and he holds in his left hand a golden apple and his right hand touches the right hand of Virgin Mary. The crown and the other symbols of coronation are designed in early gothic style.
