The arms of the city of Elbląg (former German name Elbing) show two crosses, which may be derived from the crosses of [[Gdańsk]]. The upper cross should be plain red, but I have no better image. The oldest seal of the city dates from 1242. The seal shows a person in a ship. Above the person there is a single cross. | The arms of the city of Elbląg (former German name Elbing) show two crosses, which may be derived from the crosses of [[Gdańsk]].
