Heraldic badges:

  • Left (as appears on coins): RECEDANT VETERA with book from which flames issue. Text from www.gazette-drouot.com[1]: "By assuming the feat of the burning book of accounts with the motto RECEDANT VETERA (\"vanish the ancient issues"), taken from the Bible's \"First Book of Kings," Frederick III wanted to allude to his decision to cancel debts to the Crown, to give a sign to the rebellious barons of his willingness to forgive their deeds and an invitation to forget old quarrels".
  • Right: A well with flames issuant, flanked on each side by a bucket also issuant with flames
