The settlement was founded in 1516 by Count Stephen Slik in the vicinity of silver ore mines. Four years later King Louis I promoted the settlement to the status of a free mining town and at the same time granted it a coat-of-arms which was changed in 1546 at the occasion of the elevation of Jáchymov to the status of a royal mining town by King Ferdinand I. This is reflected by the crowned Bohemian lion placed in two sections of the quartered shield.

In the center of the shield there are crossed mining hammers placed on the Austrian coat-of-arms. | The settlement was founded in 1516 by Count Stephen Slik in the vicinity of silver ore mines.
