The coat of arms of Budapest^[3] (capital city of Hungary) has existed since 1873, when the three main cities next the Danube river (Buda, Pest and Óbuda) were united in one after existing during a millennium separately. The city committee that was planning the city's unification asked the master-painter Lajos Friedrich that design the coat of arms based in the cities' previous symbols and coats.
