Copenhagen's coat of arms features three silver towers on a blue shield, rising above stylised water. The central tower bears King Frederik III's monogram. The design derives from the city's oldest seal of 1254, originally depicting a city wall with towers.
The coat of arms was granted by King Frederik III in 1661 to honour Copenhagen's citizens for repelling the Swedish siege of 1658–1659.
Adopted: 1254
