The Coat of Arms of Helsinki first appeared in an early 17th-century seal of the city of Helsinki, the modern-day capital of Finland.[1] The coats of arms of both Helsinki and Uusimaa were designed in 1599 by Johannes Bureus.[2]
The current design of the Coat of Arms of Helsinki was drawn by the heraldist A. W. Rancken in 1951.[citation needed] Its blazon states: ”On a field azure, boat or on waves argent; crown or above the boat.”
