Rakovník (German: Rakonitz) is a town 60 km west of Prague with 17.000
inhabitants.

Are there fresh water lobsters in Czechia? The image in the CoA is not
symmetrical in the legs and mouths position, so I rendered them as they
appear in it.

Not lobsters but crayfish. BTW, "rak" (in "Rakovnik") = "crayfish" in
Czech.

Now I see it. We call them "langostino" (trans: little lobster) down
here, because they are very big compared with common
river crayfish.
