Editing Tønsberg (section)

===Coat of arms===
For a long time, the city did not have a formal [[coat of arms]], but instead an old medieval seal dating back to 1349 was used in its place. The blue and white circular seal shows the [[Tønsberg Fortress]] surrounded by a ring wall on a mountain with the sea in front. There is also a [[longship]] in the water in front of the fortress. Around the seal are the Latin words {{lang|la|SIGILLVM BVRGENSIVM D'TVNESBER}} which means "This is the seal of Tunsberg". The seal was also used for [[Tønsberg Municipality]] until 2020.<ref name="snl" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=T%C3%B8nsberg |access-date=2024-02-10 |publisher=Heraldry of the World |archive-date=31 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240731023106/https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=T%C3%B8nsberg |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Tonsberg, Vestfold |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-07-04.html |access-date=2024-02-10 |website=Flags of the World |archive-date=31 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240731023310/https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-07-04.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
