Coat of Arms Emblem

An intricate heraldic emblem, centered around a red shield adorned with three distinctive black St. Andrew's crosses arranged vertically. Above the shield rests a majestic golden imperial crown, surmounted by a powerful golden eagle. Three golden bees are prominently placed on the upper section of the shield. The entire composition is elegantly framed by a wreath of golden oak and laurel branches, intertwined with striking red ribbons. Flanking the central elements are additional golden ornaments: a scepter-like staff with an eagle head on the left, and a fasces on the right, both emblematic of imperial authority. This particular design reflects the historical Coat of Arms of Amsterdam, showcasing elements granted during the Napoleonic period.
