Revision as of 17:32, 27 February 2006 by KIDB (talk | contribs) (→Silver or white?)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)As Wiki doesn't seem to have an article on "double cross" (a term I used as the literal translation of the Hungarian term), I'd like to know what's the English name of the white cross that can be seen in the right half of the coat of arms. Can anyone help? Alensha 14:57, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I believe it's called a Patriarchal Cross, for it matches the picture of said cross in my dictionary. But then, we seem to have a stub linking to that article now.... :)--Jen Moakler 22:34, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I've just fixed some typos and tidied the punctuation and phrasing. I don't believe I've changed the meaning of anything written. Also wikified Anjou lily, but it doesn't have a page. Is this the same as a fleur-de-lis? --Jen Moakler 22:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the corrections & the word suggestions. Yes, it seems it's the fleur-de-lis. Alensha 12:30, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Large coat of Arms
Hi, just updated the article with the Extended Coat of Arms from the 1930's. I'm currently working on the bigger version of the current Coat of Arms to replace that small one.

More images coming soon
I have found some nice HQ images of Hungary's historical coats of arms on the web, and the author is willing to release them CC-by-sa, so as soon as I have time (a matter of a few weeks at the very most), I'll upload them to Commons and include them in the page. Just in case anyone was working on the same thing. KissL 14:04, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Large / middle
I think the picture with the angels shows not the middle, but the large coat of arms. (see also the 2nd link in the External links section). Alensha 13:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Silver or white?
The Hungarian Constitution defines the colors of the stripes red and silver, not white. White is used in cases when printing quality would be poor for silver. "76. § (2) A Magyar Köztársaság címere hegyes talpú, hasított pajzs. Első mezeje vörössel és ezüsttel hétszer vágott. Második, vörös mezejében zöld hármas halomnak arany koronás kiemelkedő középső részén ezüst kettős kereszt. A pajzson a magyar Szentkorona nyugszik."
I corrected the first paragraph accordingly. I think that the picture also should be replaced by a silver-striped version from the government portal .
+ The article mentions the white color in history, too. Could anybody confirm if silver or white was used in those times? --KIDB 17:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
