Coat of arms of Gdańsk
Polish coat of arms
The coat of arms of the city of Gdańsk (Polish: herb Gdańska, German: Wappen Danzigs), in its current form, dates back to 1410 and Banderia Prutenorum.[1] The coat of arms is very similar to the flag of Gdańsk. It depicts two silver crosses on a red shield above each other, above which hovers a golden crown. The greater arms also has two lions as supporters and Gdańsk motto.
The coat of arms in its current form (two crosses and a crown) was given by Casimir IV Jagiellon on May 25, 1457.[2] Officially adopted in 2010.[3]
