Arms of Amsterdam
- The Arms of Amsterdam motif was a popular watermark in the Netherlands and closely resembles the city's coat of arms today. The three Saint Andrew's crosses represent Amsterdam, and the two rampant lions represent the Netherlands. It is likely this paper was manufactured in France for the Dutch market, as many papers of this time were imported to the Netherlands from nearby countries.
- Watermark and variant description
- Arms of Amsterdam - variant A.f. Shield with three vertical fields, three St Andrew's crosses vertically in the central one. The shield supported by two lions rampant and surmounted by a crown decorated with feathers. The bottom of the shield is level with the lions' feet. The lions are not standing on a platform.
