Official blazon

  • (1823) Van zilver beladen met een dubbelden arend van sabel met uitgespreiden vlerken en pooten, boven den arend een schildje van goud waarop een klimmenden leeuw van sabel.
  • (1838) Wit veld met eenen arend met twee hoofden van zwart koleur, waerby, aen de bovenzyde, een gouden wapenschild belaeden met eenen zwarten leeuw.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 2, 1823 and again on July 21, 1838.

The arms are known since the 16th century. The arms are first seen on a map of gaillard from 1557.
The arms are a combination of elements of the old seals of the city. The oldest seal is known from 1309 and shows the Imperial eagle with two keys. The contra-seal from the same time shows a lion (of Flanders ?).
