On of the places I was, is the city of Kecskemet ('cs' is read
like 'ch' in 'church', each 'e' is read just as you wouldn't even
try to pronounce). Kecskemet is the town in south-east Hungary,
and as in many Hungarian towns, the coats of arms are visible
wherever you look, especially in the old part of town. The
municipality building if full of CoA's alll around the facades
(and look very monumental, in similar style as the Hungarian
Parliament building, of couse, smaller). Above the main entrance
there was hoisted the flag of the city - RWR vertical triband
with CoA in the middle: Gules, on a cinquetuple mount Vert a goat
rampant proper. Crowned with St. Stephen's crown. The flag must
have been introduced after 1990 and downfall of communism (or at
least reintroduced), since the communist era CoA is also visible
on several places in the main square.
