Greater goat of arms of Budva - Image communicated by Bojan Šurbatović, from the Budva municipal administration, 6 June 2004
The coat of arms of Budva is described in Article 4 of the Municipal Statutes, as follows:
The coat of arms of the municipality exists in three versions.
The greater coat of arms is a blus shield with three six-pointed golden stars placed 1 and 2. The shield is surmounted by a silver mural crown with three crenels. The shield is supported by two golden dea horses with blue tail fin. The whole stands on blue and silver waves, charged with a white scroll inscribed with "Budva".
The middle coat of arms is a blus shield with three six-pointed golden stars placed 1 and 2. The shield is surmounted by a silver mural crown with three crenels. The shield stands on blue and silver waves, charged with a white scroll inscribed with "Budva".
The lesser coat of arms is a blus shield with three six-pointed golden stars placed 1 and 2.
The arms, designed by the Serbian Heraldry Society, were adopted in 1998.
Ströhl's Städte-Wappen von Österreich-Ungarn (1904) [stl04] includes a
note on the coat of arms of Budva, at the time a small town in the Kingdom of Dalmatia. The coat of arms
is simply described as "Azure three mullets or"; unlike on the current
design readopted after the use of an emblem during the Socialist period,
Ströhl gives the stars in the heraldically usual order of two above
one.
