<p><b>Funen County</b> (<a href="Danish_language" title="Danish language">Danish</a>: <i lang="da">Fyns Amt</i>) is a former <a href="Counties_of_Denmark" title="Counties of Denmark">county</a> (Danish: <i><a href="Amt_(subnational_entity)" class="mw-redirect" title="Amt (subnational entity)">amt</a></i>) in central <a href="Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a>, comprising the <a href="Island" title="Island">islands</a> of <a href="Funen" title="Funen">Funen</a>, <a href="Langeland" title="Langeland">Langeland</a>, <a href="T%C3%A5singe" title="Tåsinge">Tåsinge</a>, <a href="%C3%86r%C3%B8" title="Ærø">Ærø</a>, and approximately 90 other islands, of which only 25 are inhabited. The county was formed on 1 April 1970, comprising the former counties of <a href="Odense_County" title="Odense County">Odense</a> and <a href="Svendborg_County" title="Svendborg County">Svendborg</a>. The county was abolished from 1 January 2007, when it merged into <a href="Region_of_Southern_Denmark" title="Region of Southern Denmark">Region of Southern Denmark</a> (<i>Region Syddanmark</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The county employed around 20,000 people working in more than 160 institutions located all over Funen.

<p>Funen County's <a href="Coat_of_arms" title="Coat of arms">coat of arms</a> showed three connected gold <a href="Humulus_lupulus" title="Humulus lupulus">hop</a> leaves on a field of red, representing three former counties of Odense, Svendborg and Assens. The choice of hop leaves comes from Funen native <a href="Hans_Christian_Andersen" title="Hans Christian Andersen">Hans Christian Andersen</a>'s song "<i>I Danmark er jeg født</i>" ("In Denmark I was born"), where he refers to Funen as "<i>Æblegård og humlehave</i>" (Apple farm and hop garden).
</p><p>For common daily usage, a more modern and <a href="Information_technology" title="Information technology">IT</a>-friendly version was used. In this version, the background was green and the hop leaves white and much less detailed. Alternate versions had a red or, on occasion, a black background.
</p><p>The coat of arms was registered in 1976.
