English: Coat of arms of the Danish town Varde. The leopard is first mentioned as a symbol of the town in 1219 making it the oldest example of Danish civic heraldry. The leopard is taken from the arms of the dukes of Lüneburg as the town was part of the dowry of Helena, sister of Danish king Valdemar I for her marriage with Wilhelm of Lüneburg.
Dansk: Vardes byvåben. Leoparden har været Vardes symbol siden 1219, og er dermed det ældst kendte eksempel på dansk kommunalheraldik. Løven stammer fra hertugerne af Lüneburgs våben, da byen blev givet som en del af kong Valdemar den Stores søster Helenas medgift til hendes ægteskab med Wilhelm af Lüneburg.
