In 1514 a new seal appears, showing a lion on a boat, with a soldier behind the shield and two lions as supporters. The contra-seal shows only a ship. During the early 16th century more images of the arms appear, all showing a black lion in a ship. On images from 1562 onwards the lion hold a halberd. The whole composition appears on the seals of the city by the end of the 17th century. | In 1514 a new seal appears, showing a lion on a boat, with a soldier behind the shield and two lions as supporters.

In 1819 the Dutch government based the arms on the old seal, but replaced the halbard by a flag with the town's initial. Also an extra flag was added on the back of the boat. Finally, a crown was added, common for cities which were represented in the provincial parliament. After the Belgian independence the historical arms were granted and the crown was omitted. | In 1819 the Dutch government based the arms on the old seal, but replaced the halbard by a flag with the town's initial.
