The oldest seal of Malmö is known from 1421 but is likely to be (much) older. It shows a church with a star and crescent (symbols for eternity) and on the base some waves (for the sea). The church probably represents the main church at the time. A second seal of the city probably dates from the 13th century, but is only known from 1417. It shows a cog ship, indicating the importance of trading.
