It was confirmed in November, 6th, 1789. For the first time the picture of a lion was on a seal of galyts'ko-volyns'kyi princes Andrew and Lev III. The lion was in a territorial sign of Galyts'ko-Volyns'ke principality. The first town seal with the picture of the lion is fastened to the parchment diploma of Lviv in 1359. The passant Lion was in the open gates with three embattlements. In 1526 the Polish king Sigizmund confirmed the emblem formally. But after the audience of Lviv archbishop Solikovsky with Pope Sixt V in 1586 the town got the right to use the papal emblem: a statant lion holding three hills and a star with eight rays. Emperor Joseph II confirmed just that emblem of L'viv. Image on site V.Napytkin.
