The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs. They are the only arteries (other than umbilical arteries in the fetus) that carry deoxygenated blood.
The coronary circulation consists of the blood vessels that supply blood to, and remove blood from, the heart. The vessels that supply blood high in oxygen to the heart are known as coronary arteries.
I'm providing you with a link so that you can read more about it if you like. The link also has a helpful diagram of the heart that may interest you.

The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart itself, whereas the pulmonary artery returns deoxygenated blood from the heart back to the lungs.

The pulmonary arteries are the blood vessels that pump deoxygenated blood to lungs from the heart for gas exchange.
The coronary arteries supply the heart itself with oxygenated blood.

A coronary artery supplies oxygenated-oxygen containing blood to the heart-its muscles for example.If coronary artery is blocked, then heart does not get oxygen and other nutrients which leads to ischemia, and infarction of heart muscles.
A pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where the carbon dioxide in the blood is exchanged with oxygen from the air we breathe in, then pulmonary veins carry back pure oxygenated blood to heart from where it goes to all parts of the body.
A pulmonary artery carries venous(impure) blood whereas a coronary artery like all other arteries carries arterial(pure) blood. The bronchial arteries play a part to provide oxygenated , nutrient blood to lungs for them to live n perform important functions.

The pulmonary artery caries blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to exchange carbondioxide for oxygen.
The coronary arteries are arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.

Coronary supplies the heart with blood while pulmonary takes part in double circulation.

coronary artery: carries oxygenated blood to feed heart muscle
pulmonary artery: carries oxygenated blood to lungs to deposit the oxygen on red blod cells
One feeds an organ (heart); the other works to carry blood to transport O2 and CO2.
