A black, circular seal with a notched, outer border. The center contains a shield or crest with a crown atop it. In the shield is a beaver. Surrounding the shield are the words "SIGILLVM NOVI BELGII".
On a white background, three black glyphs appear, aligned vertically and connected along one vertical line which shares at least one line within each glyph except for the bottom one. On top is the number 4, written with the top closed. Its horizontal line extends to the right and is intercepted by a vertical line making a cross. Its vertical line continues below to form the vertical line of a letter R. That line continues down to connect to a letter W, which is written like two letters V crossing each other. The vertical line connects to this intersection point.
