In Hungary's case, the oldest component of the historical coat of arms reinstated in 1990 is the patriarchal cross: This became a national symbol some 800 years ago.
After the early successes in the 1848-49 revolution and war of independence, it was decreed that "the national colors and arms of the country shall be restored to their ancient rights." Red was taken to be a symbol of strength, white of fidelity and green of hope.
After 1945, the crown was replaced on the flag by the crownless, so-called Kossuth coat of arms (named after Lajos Kossuth, 1802-1894, one of the greatest l9th-century Hungarian politicians, who led the 1948-9 war of independence and died in exile.) The 1949 constitution replaced this with a crest un-related to tradition and historical continuity.

  Coat of arms of Slovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of Slovakia is composed of a silver (argent) double cross, elevated on the middle peak of a dark blue mountain consisting of three peaks.
Since the Slovak coat of arms was already part of the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Hungary at that time, only the color of the three mountains had to be changed (it happened on the Slovak flag for the first time) from green to "blue" to receive the desired red-white-blue combination.
The old coat of arms was replaced in the Czechoslovak coat of arms by an artificial symbol consisting of Mt. Kriváň and three flames.
