Английская Википедия:Coat of arms of Bergen
The city seal of Bergen, Norway, consists of a wall with a gate that stands on golden hills. At the edge of the seal, the Latin text of "Шаблон:Lang" is written, which translates to "Seal of the Town Community of Bergen". The elements date back to a two sided seal used in Bergen from 1293 to 1426. The current text was from the side of the seal which had the image of a longship, while the image was from the other side, which featured a castle. The old seal was replaced by a seal with a new castle as the main component in the 16th century. The seven hills below the castle have been interpreted as an image of Bergen's seven hills.[1]
The current form has been used since 1833. Bergen is the only Norwegian municipality that has gotten approval of a city seal that dates back to a middle age seal.[2]
The seal has similarities with 13th century seals of the German cities Lübeck and Hamburg,[1] which were members of the Hanseatic League like Bergen.
