Coat of arms of Hungary

Okay kiddo, a coat of arms is like a special picture that represents a country or a family. The coat of arms of Hungary has a shield in the center with two parts.

The top part has a crown, which is a fancy hat that kings and queens wear. This crown is special because it was worn by one of Hungary's most famous kings, Saint Stephen, who helped make Hungary a Christian country a long time ago.

The bottom part of the shield has three hills, which symbolize Hungary's landscape. Above the hills, there are two stripes of red and white, which are the colors that represent Hungary.

On either side of the shield, there are two funny animals called lions. These lions are golden and have a long tongue sticking out. They look a bit scary but don't worry, they are just pictures.

Above the shield, there is another golden crown, which represents the Hungarian monarchy. The crown has cross-like arches and a cross on top that points towards heaven.

So, that's the coat of arms of Hungary, a picture that represents the country's history and symbols.
