The coat of arms of Budapest (capital city of Hungary) has existed since 1873, when the three main cities next to 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 to design the coat of arms based on the cities' previous symbols and coats.
