 The shield and crest had long been in use, though not usually together until recent times. The lion and banner device appears as a badge (without torse) on Edward IV's charter dated 30th October, 1467, and the motto also occurs thereon. This proves a much earlier use of a town's motto by Doncaster than is common with boroughs. The castle upon a shield appears on old mayoral seals and also upon a charter dated 13th May 1532, but seems not to have been adopted as the borough arms before the 19th century.
-A corporate common seal adopted in May, 1712, includes only the lion and banner — not upon a cushion tinctured ermine as now. The ermine cushion appears to be a fairly modern misrepresentation of the green mount shown on the 1467 charter.

 Above the castle was formerly placed the royal crown, but this could not be officially allowed and it was replaced by a Saxon crown which has reference to the lordship of the Manor of Hexthorpe (of which Doncaster formed part).
