In blue, behind a plow, a leafy, fertilized, staked vine, rising from the green ground, on which two starlings, sitting facing each other. On the helmet with blue and gold helmet covers on the right and red and silver on the left, the starlings, each on an outward and downward sloping vine. In place of the birds, silver lilies appear in the shield as with the crest .

The actual, original coat of arms of the Simonyi de Varsány is said to have looked different. They belong to the prehistoric nobility of Bars County , whose first ancestor, Comes Simon de Wossian , mentioned in a document in 1260, appears. His descendant Felician received the jus gladii in 1441 . His son Benedict wrote himself "Simonyi Aliter de Vassány". In 1560 Johann Simonyi was vice- chancellor of Bars County.
