image from this
website, reported by István Molnár, 18 May 2001
The Coat of Arms of the municipality: In blue shield there is an or (yellow) fish. Form of the shield: gothic
The origin of the coat of arms is the original seal of the village (without
date). It can be seen in the Altenburger Seal Collection in Budapest. The
seal with inscription KESZEGFALVAI KÖZSÉG PETSÉTJE
shows a carp (maybe). The colors have been selected to suit heraldic specifications.
The form of the shield has been selected because this form is simple.
